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