Текст песни Louise - Damien Dempsey

Well it was not right Louise
How a priest and a husband
You had to appease
How they brought you to your knees
With eleven children
You could barely feed
You were basically enslaved
What you would have given
Just for minimum wage
When your husband drank, his pay
And fell in the door, smashed up the house
It's another normal day
Louise
Your a Queen to me
Louise
They've some cheek to
Say it's weak
Your femininity
Well you had your hopes
And your dreams
You could write a brilliant story
Far off places you'd someday see
Contraception was a sin
So at seventeen, you married
Six months pregnant, with the twins
Still you never lost your faith
You were generous to a fault
And you believed in something great
And if anyone, is a Queen
You Louise and women like you
Are the best I've ever seen

To all the Sisters round, this Earth
Who are being oppressed
By men obsessed, with patriarchal verse
I will say to you, one word
Solidarity, someday you'll be
Free as migratory birds
