The Mad Lady & 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 in going down
It was a dreamlike day
It was there we met the trinity
And there I heard them singing

And she said bye bye Mama
Goodbye brother John
Farethee well ye Shandon bells
Ring on, ring on

She leaned and leaned much closer
And she hugs them all goodbye
Her mother cried "don't go my love"
We all must bye 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

And she said bye bye Mama
Goodbye brother John
Farethee well ye Shandon bells
Ring on, ring on
