Lawless - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

Written by：Mick Curry[00:00:01]

He was Lawless by name[00:00:11]

Lawless by nature[00:00:13]

He was trouble right from the start[00:00:15]

Hard as nails[00:00:19]

Runnin' wild through the streets[00:00:20]

He was breakin' his poor mother's heart[00:00:22]

Nature played a trick on lawless[00:00:26]

And the humour of nature is cruel[00:00:29]

He grew up as we all had expected[00:00:34]

Into a dangerous fool[00:00:37]

He was a hard man a man for all seasons[00:00:42]

He was always out for a fight[00:00:45]

He couldn't hold drink but still he'd get plastered[00:00:49]

In clark's every Saturday night[00:00:52]

Strip to the vest and challenge the best[00:00:56]

Until the guards they were called to come fast[00:01:00]

And they'd lock him away for the rest of the day[00:01:03]

And let him out on the Sunday for mass[00:01:07]

Oh one night he went down[00:01:13]

To the ring's end regatta[00:01:14]

Where he met up with the[00:01:16]

Bold[00:01:17]

Dolly[00:01:18]

Platts[00:01:18]

She wasn't exactly what you'd call beauty[00:01:22]

But she was the belle of our flats[00:01:25]

A whirlwind romance and Dolly took a[00:01:29]

Flier[00:01:32]

With lawless she would settle down[00:01:32]

It was pure coincidence three months before[00:01:36]

There was a yankee destroyer in town[00:01:39]

And the couple were blessed with one of god's miracles[00:01:45]

Before six months had elapsed[00:01:48]

Dolly gave birth to a nine pound black baby[00:01:52]

And lawless was fit to collapse[00:01:56]

She swore she'd never been touched by another[00:01:59]

And lawless took her at her word[00:02:02]

And the neighbours exclaimed 'he's the spit of his[00:02:06]

Father and the cuckoo is a wonderful bird'[00:02:09]

Oh now lawless stays in and looks after the family[00:02:26]

While Dolly goes out for the night[00:02:30]

The old gossips all say she's free in her ways[00:02:35]

And their evil rumours ran rife[00:02:39]

When lawless heard this he waited for Dolly[00:02:42]

In the bridge where the river runs low[00:02:46]

Noone will ever know what happened next[00:02:50]

But Dolly drowned in the dodder[00:02:53]

Below[00:02:55]

Some say he's crazy and more say he's evil[00:02:59]

Everyone says that he's mad[00:03:02]

Noone will defend him he was no angel[00:03:08]

But I'll tell you he wasn't all bad[00:03:11]

They've locked him away for the rest of his natural[00:03:17]

Never again will he see[00:03:20]

Down the back of ring's end[00:03:26]

There's a lonely child playing[00:03:27]

Where the liffey flows into the sea[00:03:29]
