[00:00:00] Lawless - Christy Moore

[00:00:01] Written by：Mick Curry

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

[00:00:13] Lawless by nature

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

[00:00:19] Hard as nails

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:37] Into a dangerous fool

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:17] Bold

[00:01:18] Dolly

[00:01:18] Platts

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

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

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

[00:01:32] Flier

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:55] Below

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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