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