    Happy is the corpse that the rain falls on; happy is the bride that the sun shines on.
    Here comes Brigid dressed in white.
    Please give her a penny for the honour of the night.
    When she comes she brings good cheer.
    Put your pocket,
    take the weight off your purse
    and this time next year
    you won't be the worse.
