Lyrics:

Elizabeth with your carpet bag
your best dress upon your back
Crossed the sea with rosary in hand
Pressed to the ships rail
Did you shed tears of farewell?
Ireland lost in the ocean swell


Elizabeth pretty one so fair
In to this life you were born
Shine the silver scrub the floors
You’ll go from care free to there
Oh blessed Mary keep her in your care
Elizabeth.. pretty one so fair

Elizabeth in London town
You’ll wear the yoke of servitude
Cast you eyes downward do as your told
Elizabeth in your sturdy shoes
Three flights up in you cold attic room
What you’ll do for a shilling or two


Elizabeth pretty one so fair
Into this life you were born
To Shine the silver scrub the floors
Hold your breath as he climbs the stairs
Oh Blessed Mary won’t you hear her prayer
Elizabeth… pretty one so fair
His sins you’re bound to bear


She serves up his tea
His blue blooded gaze she doesn't meet
Yet deep within grows his seed
His need for her has run its course
All that he coveted now ignored
His footsteps linger at another’s door


Elizabeth pretty one so fair
Into this life you were born
Shine the silver scrub the floors
Hold your breath as he climbs the stairs
Mother Mary won’t you hear her prayer
Elizabeth… pretty one so fair
His sins you’re bound to bear

Fair as a silver moon beam
Innocent as a gosling in spring
Eyes the color of the Irish Sea
With Raven hair just like her mam
A wee lamb in the arms of her clan
Life’s circle is back where it all began

Elizabeth Pretty one so fair
Come child and open the door
Catch your breath and climb the stairs
Oh Blessed Mary heard your every prayer
Elizabeth pretty one so fair,
His sins won’t be yours to bear
