  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    As I went up the holy land,
    I met the Blessed Virgin coming down,
    She had twelve books in the right hand,
    Twelve priests singing, twelve bells ringing,
    The gates of heaven opened and the gates of hell closed,
    out comes the poor souls.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
