The Child Brides Lyrics

When i first saw the child brides

 Two bridegroom boys at their side

 Genevieve in union with -holy communion

 Marianne the younger wife

 

 And the child brides

 Went down to the water

 Neptune calls out to his daughters

 Throw yourself at the tide

 I´ll see you on the other side

 

 In a loveless marriage - when i was fourteen

 All braised knees and black eyes

 Then you come round here

 With your fancy talk and big ideas

 What have you done with our wives

 

 Chorus

 

 Bride of christ, bride of jesus

 Bride of the fish when you´re fathoms downbr>And the uncles and the
brother

 With their sunday suits on

 Search the village and towns

 But the child brides etc.
