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