Angie O'Doyle

[Verse]
Angie O'Doyle came down the hill
From the convent gates
Her heart stood still
With a babe in her belly
A tale to tell
Forsaken by the church
She walked through hell
[Chorus]
Oh Angie
Angie O'Doyle
A mother's heart in the soil
Ignored by the priest
The truth undone
The weight of sins
She can't outrun
[Verse 2]
She knocked on doors
No one dared to see
The child inside
What can it be?
The priest just turned
His collar white
"I know nothing
Of that night."
[Chorus]
Oh Angie
Angie O'Doyle
A mother's heart in the soil
Ignored by the priest
The truth undone
The weight of sins
She can't outrun
[Verse 3]
Through village streets
Whispers spread
Of Angie and her child
Like lead
A lady once pure
Now stained and torn
In silence
The village mourned
[Bridge]
But Angie stood
Strong and wild
With love for her unborn child
No priest
No word
Could break her will
She climbed back up
That tear-stained hill
