DIÀSPORA - Katie McGuire Lyrics

Katie Mcguire was a saint, they say
Katie Mcguire came to mass every day
Katie Mcguire had a heart of gold
Her tale deserves to be told
Lost her Da when very young
TB and her father was gone
Brother and sister away with Bridget her ma she did stay
Life and times, they were hard
Taking good care of her ma
Tending the land on her own
At Four Altars, Edmondstown
Katie Mcguire was a saint, they say
Katie Mcguire came to mass every day
Katie Mcguire had a heart of gold
Her tale deserves to be told
Married her beau, name of John
Her Regan name, it was gone
Babs and Sean came their way
A family life sure to stay
Then Johnny took to his bed
Spent 30 years frail in there
Katie gave all her time for him
Cared for him right til the end
Katie Mcguire was a saint, they say
Katie Mcguire came to mass every day
Katie Mcguire had a heart of gold
Her tale deserves to be told
Came to be known and loved by all
Kind words, fresh bread if yer called
No matter what weather came to pass
She'd be riding her bike into mass
I'll make sure Katie's memory lives on
By singing for her this song
Wherever you are scattered
Remember..family matters
Katie Mcguire was a saint, they say
Katie Mcguire came to mass every day
Katie Mcguire had a heart of gold
Her tale deserves to be told
Katie Mcguire
Katie Mcguire
Katie Mcguire
