Verse
G C G
He was Lawless by name, Lawless by nature
G D G G
He was trouble right from the start
Am D
Hard as nails, runnin' wild through the streets
G D
He was breakin' his poor mother's heart
Am 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
Am D
He couldn't hold drink but still he'd get plastered
G D
In Clark's every Saturday night
Am 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
Am D
She wasn't exactly what you'd call beauty
G D
But she was the belle of her flats
Am 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
Am D
Dolly gave birth to a nine-pound black baby
G D
And Lawless was fit to collapse
Am 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
Am D
The old gossips all say she's free in her ways
G D
And its there evil rumours run rife
Am 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
Am D
Noone will defend him, he was no angel
G D
But I'll tell you he wasn't all bad
Am 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
