Dm Am Dm Am
Dm F Am
She spent seven days creating the World, the Sun, the Moon and Stars
Dm Am
And the Plough and the Milky-Way and Jupiter and Mars
Dm F Am
And she opened her ribcage. Then she pulled out a little man.
Dm Am
She put him down on the plains of Kildare and the human race began
F Am
Go forth said she and multiply God man and I will by God.
Dm F Am
What better place to begin the race than below in the yellow Bog*
CHORUS
Dm Am Dm F Am
God Woman, God Woman, God Woman, God Woman
Dm F Am
Down by the edge of Clongorey he built a holy cell
Dm Am
Where he knelt to contemplate heaven and drink from St. Brigids well.
Dm F Am
And then he went to the mission fields of Raheens and Ballitore
Dm Am
And he sailed on down the Grand Canal to the town of Lollymore.
F Am
Where he went breaking up the Bordellos, and smashing the poit�n stills.
Dm F Am
Introducing the word of God around the furry hills
CHORUS
* The place was in fact Bowlings Gog at Barronstown, Miltown,
Newbridge, County Kildare
