Christy Moore Follow

She spent seven days creating the World, the Sun, the Moon and Stars
And the Plough and the Milky-Way and Jupiter and Mars
And she opened her ribcage. Then she pulled out a little man.
he put him down on the plains of Kildare and the human race began
Go forth said she and multiply God man and I will by God.
What better place to begin the race than below in the yellow Bog*

CHORUS

God Woman, God Woman, God Woman, God Woman

Down by the edge of Clongorey he built a holy cell

Where he knelt to contemplate heaven and drink from St. Brigids well.

And then he went to the mission fields of Raheens and Ballitore
And he sailed on down the Grand Canal to the town of Lollymore.
Where he went breaking up the Bordellos, and smashing the poitín stills.

Introducing the word of God around the furry hills

CHORUS

* The place was in fact Bowlings Gog at Barrongstown, Miltown, Newbridge, County Kildare
