A face that haunts me smilin' down   A broken doll with eyes so wild   O'Connell Bridge you're fallin' down   And hangin' on a ragged child   Amid the to and fro   Watchin' as we come an' go   Footsteps an the motor cars   Shyin' from her beggin' jar   Cryin' in the night   Where love will fall   Dyin' as she might   An' we all laugh   Knowin' it's a con   Waitin' for the garda   To come.      Her face still haunts me shinin' down   A meadow flower growin' wild   O'Connell Bridge you're fallin' down   And on your ledge a frightened child   Amid the heat an' dust of rush around   The feet an' wheels that spin   Shyin' from her beggin' tin   Cryin' in the night   Where love will fall   Dyin' out of sight   An' we all laugh   Knowin' it's a con   Waitin' for the garda   To come.      Amid the heat an' dust of rush around   The feet an' wheels that spin   Shyin' from her beggin' tin   Cryin' in the night   Where love will fall   Dyin' out of sight   An' we all laugh   Knowin' it's a con   Waitin' for the garda   To come.
