St Bridget of Kildare,

She was born in the County of Lough

Back in her day, just a slip of a lass

But my, she's a legend now

Like the blossoming bud of a rose

She burst forth on the first day of spring

Her dad tried to sell her to slavery

He even tried to sell her to the King

But that monarch, he was a wise man

It took just one look at her face

To see he was gazing at purity

Ah, Bridget, a figure of grace

Bridget you're a saint

Chaste, modest and pure

You could cure the blind

We know that for sure

You lived your life as a virgin

Held your chastity dear

But that's not the half of it

Because you could turn water to beer

Yes, you could turn water to beer

Bridget you're a saint

She chanced upon men riddled with Hansens

Their bodies, battered and frail

She drew rancid water from the lepers' bath

And in minutes had turned it to ale.

And she then did the same for the clerics

Who fell to their knees to beg

"Bridget, please brew for our masses"

She did it with just one keg

Bridget you're a saint

Chaste, modest and pure

You could cure the blind

We know that for sure

You lived your life as a virgin

Held your chastity dear

But that's not the half of it

Because you could turn water to beer

Yes, you could turn water to beer

Bridget you're a saint

She could feed the poor

She could heal the lame

All part of Bridget's glory

All part of Bridget's fame

Bridget you're a Saint

Instrumental break

Bridget you're a saint

Chaste, modest and pure

You could cure the blind

We know that for sure

You lived your life as a virgin

Held your chastity dear

But that's not the half of it

Because you could turn water to beer

Yes, you could turn water to beer

Bridget you're a saint

Just a snippet of the forthcoming single by Brian Ralston's Self Tort - St Bridget. The song is dedicated to St Brigid of Kildare, who, apart from her many other miracles, was reputed to be able to turn water to beer. The full version will be uploaded when it is officially released.
