"This was a song that I wrote for Galavally that featured St Corrigan: 'St Corrigan’s Blessing' (Sung to the tune of “Wee Be Soldiers Three”)." -- Mary R. Bergman-Kridler


Asked the saint to guide me.
Finding my way to Gallavally,
Ended up wand’ring a week or three.
St Corrigan did bless me richly.

Didn’t know what I’d see,
Finding my way to Gallavally.
Shoulda turned left at Albuquerque.
St Corrigan did bless me richly.

So I walked o’er hill and dale.
Please pardon me if my voice should fail.
I think I just stepped on a dragon’s tail.
St Corrigan did bless me richly.

Finally quit, turned for home,
Two steps later tripped over a gnome.
He said, “Hey you’re here! There’s no need to roam.”
St Corrigan did bless me richly.

That, my friends, is my tale
Finding my way to Gallavally.
If you can do better, then I’ll buy the ale.
St Corrigan did bless me richly.
