He was Lawless by name, Lawless by nature

He was trouble right from the start

Hard as nails, runnin' wild through the streets

He was breakin' his poor mother's heart

And he grew up as we all had expected him
F C F
Into a dangerous fool

He was a hard man, a man for all seasons

He couldn't hold drink but still he'd get plastered

In Clark's every Saturday night

Strip to the vest and challenge the best

Until the guards they were called to come fast
F A# 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

They've locked him away for the rest of his natural

Never again will he see
