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