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