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