From a tugboat, by the river A cement bag's drooppin' down Yeah, the cement's just for the weight, dear Bet you Mack, he's back in town Looky here Louie Miller, disappeared, dear After drawing out his cash And MacHeath spends like a sailor Did our boy do somethin' rash? Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver Lotte Lenya, Sweet Lucy Brown Oh, the line forms on the right, dears Now that Mack, he's back in town Take it, Satch Music video by Louis Armstrong performing Mack The Knife (Live At The BBC). © 1968 BBC, under license to Verve Label Group, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc. http://vevo.ly/0PSm73
