about

Written by Erin's uncle (Eddie McLachlan)

lyrics

To the bridge of tears they brought them
On a slender ridge of stones
They left them staring silently
At the mountains bogs below

Bitterly the children cried
To be left so on their own
Never to be held or kissed again
As on that ridge of stone

Nothing to see for far or near
Save last years white sheep's bones
Heather and granite in between
The bridge and the old one's souls

Bitterly the children cried
To be left so on their own
Never to be held or kissed again
As on that ridge of stone

They grew up thin and twisted
Like the roots of an old bog oak
Working the land as farm hands raw
In a farmer's slaving yolk

Bitterly the children cried
To be left so on their own
Never to be held or kissed again
As on that ridge of stone
