Branded as a Jezebel

Most girls come here pregnant

Bridget got that belly by
We're trying to get things white as snow

In the streaming stains

Prostitutes and destitutes

And temptresses like me
Fallen women

These bloodless brides of Jesus

If they had just once glimpsed
their groom
Then they'd know,

Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon

Verse 5
F#m
Peg O'Connell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt

They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God you'd think at least

One day I'm going to die here too
F#m
A
D
And they'll plant me in the dirt
Like some lame bulb

That never blooms, come any spring
