Briege Murphy and Rosemary Woods are both singer-songwriters from northern Ireland. I'd be interested in lyrics for any of their songs.

Can anybody supply lyrics and maybe abc/chords for Guardian Angel by Rosemary Woods. It's about trying to help a woman who is in an unsatisfactory relationship and drowning her sorrows.
I have tow albums of Rosemary Woods (also recorded at Colum Sands' studio) but this song isn't on the recordings. Has it been recorded?

Well isn't this a coincidence! I've been singing Briege Murphy's song "Clohinne Winds" (made popular by Niamh Parsons) all day on HearMe! It's a spooky song, that's why I been playing it on the Halloween HearMe. You can get the lyrics here (click).

Thanks Alison, but Rosemary does come to Derry now and again; the Foyle Folk Club organisers know her too.

Philippa - Rosemary Woods comes from my hometown (Portaferry). I imagine that given it's such a small place it would be easy enough to get the info you need. I'll do a bit of querying and see what I can come up with - I'm not there any more but my family is, and I'll ask them.

I just heard a song by Briege Murphy against the nuclear reprocessing plant Sellafield / Windscale. Song title, "Aoife's Song" (Aoife is the name of Briege's teenage daughter). The words were very easy to make out, but I only heard it once on radio and I don't have a recording.

Briege Murphy has her own Website, with recording samples here (click).
Click here for the Waterbug page on Rosemary Woods, but prepare to be unimpressed. They did a much better job on Art Thieme.

Em Cloghinne winds were D blowing when you G called me,
Em first you spoke my D name
Em your voice was still the D same.
Em You beckoned me, and I G arose to D follow where you D lead ,
Em out amongst the D wild Cloghinne Em Winds

I suddenly thought of Rosemary Woods today, wondering what happened to her.
I'm just after doing a web search and I see a death notice for a Rosemary Woods from Portaferry, who died last autumn. There's also a 2015 mention of her extolling the complementary therapy services for cancer patients in Portaferry. Is this, alas, the same Rosemary Woods the singer; dying after a long illness?

unfortunately, Rosemary Woods died of cancer in Sept. 2019. She had dealt with the illness for several years; as long ago as May 2013 she featured on Colm Sands folk programme on Radio Ulster about how music and friends helped her deal with illness. But I had not heard any of this until I started looking for info of Rosemary on the internet a few days ago.
