blackbird & crow - margaret the martyr lyrics
margaret the martyr was from gortahork
she always wanted to sail to new york
but soon she had children and a husband to feed
and so she decided to give up her dream
her man went to london to work the railway
she was left to survive while he was away
she knew in her heart that he often did stray
but she daren’t confront him + they had a mortgage to pay
ah margaret, well tell me, where are you now?
your children have left you, but they tell me they’re proud
your husband he died young, you’re left on your own
you sacrificed your life to end up alone
well margaret your story is not an uncommon one
that girls of this country were locked in their homes
slaves to their loved ones, used and abused
when they told you to give up, you should have refused
margaret
margaret
margaret
margaret
margaret the martyr sits in that chair
in a room full of victims to the old irish ways
her children don’t visit, her food is served cold
ah tell me, was it worth it? now your story’s told?
margaret
margaret
oh margaret
margaret the martyr
