[00:00.02]	Lawless - Christy Moore
[00:01.10]	Written by：Mick Curry
[00:11.43]	He was Lawless by name
[00:13.29]	Lawless by nature
[00:15.12]	He was trouble right from the start
[00:19.08]	Hard as nails
[00:20.54]	Runnin' wild through the streets
[00:22.23]	He was breakin' his poor mother's heart
[00:26.25]	Nature played a trick on lawless
[00:29.58]	And the humour of nature is cruel
[00:34.00]	He grew up as we all had expected
[00:37.24]	Into a dangerous fool
[00:42.49]	He was a hard man a man for all seasons
[00:45.92]	He was always out for a fight
[00:49.68]	He couldn't hold drink but still he'd get plastered
[00:52.99]	In clark's every Saturday night
[00:56.64]	Strip to the vest and challenge the best
[01:00.31]	Until the guards they were called to come fast
[01:03.96]	And they'd lock him away for the rest of the day
[01:07.37]	And let him out on the Sunday for mass
[01:13.10]	Oh one night he went down
[01:14.58]	To the ring's end regatta
[01:16.48]	Where he met up with the
[01:17.85]	Bold
[01:18.26]	Dolly
[01:18.81]	Platts
[01:22.06]	She wasn't exactly what you'd call beauty
[01:25.59]	But she was the belle of our flats
[01:29.36]	A whirlwind romance and Dolly took a
[01:32.23]	Flier
[01:32.79]	With lawless she would settle down
[01:36.36]	It was pure coincidence three months before
[01:39.90]	There was a yankee destroyer in town
[01:45.72]	And the couple were blessed with one of god's miracles
[01:48.84]	Before six months had elapsed
[01:52.76]	Dolly gave birth to a nine pound black baby
[01:56.03]	And lawless was fit to collapse
[01:59.64]	She swore she'd never been touched by another
[02:02.92]	And lawless took her at her word
[02:06.76]	And the neighbours exclaimed 'he's the spit of his
[02:09.43]	Father and the cuckoo is a wonderful bird'
[02:26.41]	Oh now lawless stays in and looks after the family
[02:30.19]	While Dolly goes out for the night
[02:35.50]	The old gossips all say she's free in her ways
[02:39.22]	And their evil rumours ran rife
[02:42.76]	When lawless heard this he waited for Dolly
[02:46.45]	In the bridge where the river runs low
[02:50.11]	Noone will ever know what happened next
[02:53.40]	But Dolly drowned in the dodder
[02:55.37]	Below
[02:59.04]	Some say he's crazy and more say he's evil
[03:02.73]	Everyone says that he's mad
[03:08.17]	Noone will defend him he was no angel
[03:11.65]	But I'll tell you he wasn't all bad
[03:17.35]	They've locked him away for the rest of his natural
[03:20.58]	Never again will he see
[03:26.31]	Down the back of ring's end
[03:27.90]	There's a lonely child playing
[03:29.73]	Where the liffey flows into the sea
