[Intro]
[fiddle and tin whistle melody, distorted guitar power chords, driving drums]
[group shout] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 1]
[raspy vocals]
I met a fine lass from south of Dublin
She brought me to mass with a wink and her smile bubbling
Said she moves fast and she's not for troubling
And she'll take me all or I'll have nothing

[Chorus]
[full band, group backing vocals]
Yes she said take me all or I'll have nothing
No soft little bargains, no gentle rebuffing
She'll have your whole heart or she'll leave you the same
That's the law from this sweet south Dublin flame

[Instrumental Break]
[fiddle and tin whistle lead, heavy drum fills]

[Verse 2]
After the bells rang out and the rain started lashing
She pulled me in behind the old yew tree, her eyes flashing
Lips like warm whiskey, hands bold on my chest
She whispered no half measures lover, give me your best
Or turn on your heel while the road's still drying
I don't do in-between and I won't even try

[Chorus]
Yes she said take me all or I'll have nothing
No soft little bargains, no gentle rebuffing
She'll have your whole heart or she'll leave you the same
That's the law from this sweet south Dublin flame

[Bridge]
[drums drop to half-time, acoustic guitar and fiddle]
So I followed her home through the Wicklow night mist
To a little stone cottage where the fire danced and hissed
She dropped every layer, first her soul then her skin
And we moved like the storm that had pulled us both in

[Chorus]
[full energy returns]
I said I'll take you all or I'll have nothing
No soft little bargains, no gentle rebuffing
She'll have your whole heart or she'll leave you the same
That's the law from this bold south Dublin flame

[Outro]
Take me all or I'll have nothing
And I gave her me all till the morning light bled
And now the road back to Dublin feels heavy and long
But I'd walk every mile just to hear her say again
Oh take me all or I'll have nothing
[final fiddle flourish, big drum finish]
