    I've visited French Furze in the Curragh recently , as yo walk you can see all the depressions in the ground where they slept, It was one of the most saddest yet peaceful places I've ever visited, so different to the battle ground sites. I've never experienced emotion like that before, no resolution for them.

    The childer are crying for food, Sir
    It's been days since they last had a bite
    With the winter wind blowing through the furze, Sir
    There's some might not last through the night
    They drove us away from the town, Sir
    And out here where we wouldn't be seen
    Cast out by the good Christian people
    Like lepers unfit and unclean
    They call us the Wrens of the Curragh
    We live and we die in a hole
    For a penny I'd give you my body
    And for tuppence I'd sell you my soul
    It wasn't for this I was born, Sir
    As a girl I was healthy and strong
    I was happy to work on the land, Sir
    And I'd sing like a lark all day long
    But the landowner liked what he saw, Sir
    And he used me, he gave me a son
    Then cast me aside like a dog, Sir
    Without even a stitch of my own
    They call us the Wrens of the Curragh
    We live and we die in a hole
    For a penny I'd give you my body
    And for tuppence I'd sell you my soul
    If you're done with me Sir, thank you kindly
    Now go back to your God fearing wife
    To your big house and fine healthy children
    And I hope that you'll have a good life
    And when you pray to your God in the morning
    To forgive you for all of your sins
    Please spare a few thoughts in your prayers, Sir
    For me and the poor Curragh Wrens
    They call us the Wrens of the Curragh
    We live and we die in a hole
    For a penny I'd give you my body
    And for tuppence I'd sell you my soul

    Heartbreaking to think of the miserable lives they led and most Irish people don’t even seem to have heard of them

    So heartbreaking!
    Unfortunately many women and men suffer such life nowadays too.

      in the words of the Belfast comedian Frank Carson
      "ireland ?..full of roman catholics, full of protestants,..but,very few christians"
      i thank my God im Irish disenter,..and free from the treacherous queen of england and her master, that draconian king of rome
