Yes, I meant to mention her too but couldn't think of her name.

Christy Moore sang about her:Everybody knew, nobody said.

A week ago last Tuesday.
She was just fifteen years.
When she reached her full term.
She went to a grotto.
Just a field,
In The Middle of The Island.
To deliver herself.
Her Baby died,
She died

A week ago last Tuesday.
It was a sad slow stupid death for them both.
Everybody knew, nobody said.
At a Grotto
In a Field
In The Middle Of The Island



Some tight ship it was, wasn't it?
