BRIDGET EVANS
(Judy Small)

There's a wo-man in Great Brit-ain,
Brid-get E-vans is her name
And she's out on Green-ham Com-mon
and things will ne-ver be the same
And this is not just Brid-get's fight
there's wo-men by the score
by the hun-dred, by the thou-sand
and there'll be ten thou-sand more

CHORUS:and they're fight-ing for their fam-i-lies
they're fight-ing for their friends
and they won't stop; no they won't stop
till this nuc-clear mad-ness ends
till this nu-clear mad-ness ends.'

And Bridget's left her husband and her kids at home in Wales
And she hears what people say of her,
That she's gone off the rails
And she says that men have left their wives
And marched off to their wars
And how can her fight for humankind be any lesser cause

Chorus

And Bridget's been to prison
For they say she breached the peace
When she sat inside a sentry box
And sang to the polics
And her song is growing louder
As it echoes off the sun
That Bridget won't leave Greenham
Till the battle has been won

Chorus

CODA:There's a wo-man in Great Brit-ain,
Brid-get E-vans is her name
And she's out on Green-ham Com-mon
and things will ne-ver be the same
