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