Mad Lady & Me - Jimmy McCarthy
[Verse]
Em
among the walls and ruins
C
of the horrid civic stone
B7
I walked without a lover
C B7 Em
for my older bones
Em
The sun was strong in going down
C
It was a dreamlike day
B7
It's there I met the Trinity
C B7 Em
and there I heard them say
[Chorus]
She said:
G D
Bye bye mamma
C Em
Goodbye brother John
G D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells
C Em
Ring on ring on
[Verse]
Em
She leaned and leaned much closer
C
And she hugged us all goodbye
B7
Her mother cried "don't go my love"
C B7 Em
We all mus by and by
Em
a drunken tongue said "leave her off"
C
she'll drive us all crazy
B7
she turned around and saw my face
C B7 Em
and both of us was she
[Chorus]
She said:
G D
Bye bye mamma
C Em
Goodbye brother John
G D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells
C Em
Ring on ring on
[Verse]
Em
up and to the limestone wall
C
and down the level steps
B7
she threw herself into the stream
C B7 Em
with a splash and no regrets
Em
side stroke swimming midstream
C
throwing kisses to the crowd
B7
and everything was silent
C B7 Em
and the sky had not one cloud
[Chorus]
She said:
G D
Bye bye mamma
C Em
Goodbye brother John
G D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells
C Em
Ring on ring on
[Verse]
G D
we were swimming out in the sunset,
C Em
we were swimming out to sea,
G D
swimming down by the Opera House
C Em
The Mad Lady and me.
[Chorus]
She said:
G D
Bye bye mamma
C Em
Goodbye brother John
G D
Fare thee well ye Shandon Bells
C Em
Ring on ring on
