Lyrics
Saw your name on my family history,
My grandmother's grandfather's first wife
A couple of towns over a few miles from here
Whatever happened to your life
You came over from County Clare
The famine drove you across the sea
I saw you on the 1860 census
But your trail ended in mystery
Funny we're not even related
Just a tiny branch on my family tree
But you spoke to me across the centuries
Where did you go Bridget Keane?
You left this earth in 1862
Your husband started a new family
One was my grandmother's dad
A link to all who'd gone before me
Funny we're not even related
Just a tiny branch on my family tree
But you spoke to me across the centuries
Where did you go Bridget Keane?
I wanted to stand where you once stood
And to cross the lines of time
Send a ripple through the lineage
That somehow connects with mine
Funny we're not even related
Just a tiny branch on my family tree
But you spoke to me across the centuries
I'll never forget you Bridget Keane
Where did you go Bridget Keane?
What became of you Bridget Keane?
