Christy Moore - God Woman lyrics

She spent seven days creating The World, The Sun, The Moon and The Stars Then The Plough and The Milky Way, Jupiter and Mars Takin' a bone from her ribcage she carved a fine cut of a man Dropped him in where The Seven Springs flow into The Pollardstown Fen 'Go forth; sez she, 'me darling boy, go forth in the name of God' What better place to begin mo bhuachaillin then below in The Yellow Bog God Woman, God Woman On a beautiful hill near Clongorey he built a beehive cell Where he contemplated Limbo as he drank from Saint Bridgid's Well He recited the Sorrowful Mysteries, said Ma** at the High Cross of Moone Traumatisin' himself with terrible thoughts of eternal damnation and doom He began to break up the bordellos, to smash all the poitin stills Frothing at the mouth as he ranted, 'yiz'II all burn in Hell for your sins' DijxIented by loneliness the poor man could not sleep All he had for company was altar boys and sheep 'Til one night after devotions he met up with a mot from Coill Dubh On the bog road down by Clogherinka she whispered the secrets of love After spendin' all night in the furze bush he emerged a fully fledged man Took Bedelia back home to the beehive to polish up his auld pots and pans They danced and danced to the music, to the sound of the Angelus bell They boogied and jived around the beehive as they danced between Heaven and Hell
