Verse
A D A
He was Lawless by name, Lawless by nature
A E A A
He was trouble right from the start
Bm E
Hard as nails, runnin' wild through the streets
A E
He was breakin' his poor mother's heart
Bm E
Nature played a trick on Lawless
A E
And the humour of nature is cruel
A D A
And he grew up as we all had expected him
A E A
Into a dangerous fool
[Verse 2]
A D A
He was a hard man, a man for all seasons
A E A A
He was always out for a fight
Bm E
He couldn't hold drink but still he'd get plastered
A E
In Clark's every Saturday night
Bm E
Strip to the vest and challenge the best
A E
Until the guards they were called to come fast
A D A
And they'd lock him away for the rest of the day
A E A
And let him out on the Sunday for mass
[Verse 3]
A D A
Oh one night he went down to the Ringsend Regatta
A E A A
Where he met up with the bould Dolly Platts
Bm E
She wasn't exactly what you'd call beauty
A E
But she was the belle of her flats
Bm E
B whirlwind romance and Dolly took a flier
A E
With Lawless she would settle down
A D A
And It was pure coincidence three months before
A E A
There was a yankee destroyer in town
[Verse 4]
A D A
And the couple were blessed with one of god's miracles
A E A A
Before six months had elapsed
Bm E
Dolly gave birth to a nine-pound black baby
A E
And Lawless was fit to collapse
Bm E
She swore she'd never been touched by another
A E
And Lawless took her at her word
A D A
And the neighbours all say, she's the spit of her father
A E A
and the cuckoo is a wonderful bird.'
[Verse 5]
A D A
Oh now Lawless stays in and looks after the family
A E A A
While Dolly goes out for the night
Bm E
The old gossips all say she's free in her ways
A E
And its there evil rumours run rife
Bm E
When Lawless heard this he waited for Dolly
A E
In the bridge where the river runs low
A D A
Noone will ever know what happened next
A E A
But Dolly drowned in the Dodder below
[Verse 6]
A D A
Some say he's crazy and more say he's evil
A E A A
Everyone says that he's mad
Bm E
Noone will defend him, he was no angel
A E
But I'll tell you he wasn't all bad
Bm E
They've locked him away for the rest of his natural
A E
Never again will he see
A
Down the back of Ring's End
D A
There's a lonely child playing
A E A
Where the Liffey flows into the sea
{Outro}
A
Down the back of Ring's End
D A
There's a lonely child playing
A E D D D D D A
Where the Liffey flows into the sea
