The mad Lady and me

The mad Lady and me - Guitavio

Written by：J.MacCarthy

Among the walls and ruins

And the horrid civic stone

I walked without a lover

For my older bones

The sun was strong in going down

It was a dreamlike day

There I met the trinity

And there I heard them saying

Bye bye mama

Bye brother John

Farethee well ye shandon bells

Ring on

Ring on

She leaned and leaned much closer

And hugs them all goodbye

Her mother cried don't go my love

We almost cry and bye

A drunken tongue said leave her off

She'll drive us all crazy

She turned around and saw my face

And both of us was she

But for bye bye mama

Bye brother John

Farethee well ye shandon bells

Ring on

Ring on

Up and to the limestone wall

And down the level steps

She threw herself into the stream

Is flesh of no regrets

Side stroke swimming midstream

Throwing kisses to the crowd

And everything was silent

And the sky had not one cloud

But for bye bye mama

Bye brother John

Farethee well ye shandon bells

Ring on

Ring on

We were swimming out of the sunset

We were swimming out to the sea

Swimming down by the opera house

The mad lady and me

We said bye bye mama

Bye brother John

Farethee well ye shandon bells

Ring on

Ring on

We were swimming out of the sunset

We were swimming out to the sea

Swimming down by the opera house

The mad lady and me

We said bye bye mama

Bye brother John

Farethee well ye shandon bells

Ring on

Ring on
