The Mad Lady And Me Lyrics

e C

Among the walls and ruins of the horrid civic stone

D e

I
walked without a lover for my older bones

e D

The sun was strong in
going down it was a dreamlike day

D e

its there we met the trinity
its there I heard them say



Chorus:

G D a e

And she
said bye bye mama goodbye brother John

G D a e

farethee well ye
shandon bells ring on ring on



She leaned and leaned much closer
and she kissed them all goodbye

her mother said dont go my love we all
must bye and bye

a drunken tongue said leave her off shell drive us all
crazy

she turned around and saw my face and both of us was she



Chorus

Up and to the limestone wall and down the level steps

she
threw herself into the stream with a splash and no regrets

side stroke
swimming midstream throwing kisses to the crowd

and everything was silent
and the sky knew not one cloud



we were swimming out in the sunset
we were swimming out to sea

swimming down by the Opera House the mad lady
and me
