Lyrics The Mad Lady and Me - Christy Moore
Among
the
walls
and
ruins,
Of
the
horrid
civic
stone,
I
walked
without
a
lover,
For
my
older
bones.
The
sun
was
strong
and
going
down,
It
was
a
dreamlike
day,
It's
there
I
met
the
trinity,
It's
there
I
heard
them
say.
And
she
said
bye
bye
Mama,
Goodbye
brother
John,
Fare
thee
well
ye
Shandon
bells,
Ring
on,
ring
on.
She
leaned
and
leaned
much
closer,
And
she
hugged
them
all
goodbye,
Her
mother
said
"Don't
go
my
love",
We
all
must
by
and
by,
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.
And
she
said
bye
bye
Mama,
Goodbye
brother
John,
Fare
thee
well
ye
Shandon
bells,
Ring
on,
ring
on.
Up
on
to
the
limestone
wall,
And
down
the
level
steps,
She
threw
herself
into
the
stream,
With
a
splash
and
no
regrets,
Sidestroke
swimming
midstream,
Throwing
kisses
to
the
crowd,
And
everything
was
silent,
And
the
sky
had
not
one
cloud.
And
she
said
bye
bye
Mama,
Goodbye
brother
John,
Fare
thee
well
ye
Shandon
bells,
Ring
on,
ring
on.
We
were
swimming
out
in
the
sunset,
We
were
swimming
out
to
sea,
Swimming
down
by
the
opera
house,
The
Mad
Lady
and
Me.
