Derby Day - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

Bishop walked in circles inside the cloistered wall[00:00:14]

Pondering in solitude on leather soles[00:00:21]

Just outside the palace down on his wretched knees[00:00:27]

Husband begged for whiskey beneath the lilac trees[00:00:34]

Over in the courthouse Judge sat wrestling with a yawn[00:00:43]

Wondering would the gardener pluck the daisies off the lawn[00:00:50]

Annoyed and irritated by a[00:00:57]

“guilty” woman's whine[00:01:01]

Poor wife pleading innocence to an alleged crime[00:01:04]

Next day was a Derby Day down on the Curragh plains[00:01:13]

Dry old men of cloth and silk watched the sport of kings[00:01:19]

Meanwhile back down the town a husband battered down the door[00:01:29]

Beat his wife around the face and kicked her to the floor[00:01:36]

Husband took his own life wife passed away[00:01:48]

Judge donned his veil of sorrow [00:01:56]

Put the children into care[00:01:59]

They became God's little orphans [00:02:04]

Learned to serve and to obey[00:02:08]

To be unobtrusive when Bishop knelt to pray[00:02:12]
