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