The Magdalene Sisters

A gentleman was passing by

He stopped for s drink

as he got dry

At the well

below the valley, oh

Green grows the lily, oh

Down among the bushes, oh

Me cup was full

up to the rim

If I were to stoop

I might fall in

At the well

below the valley, oh

Green grows the lily, oh

Right among the bushes, oh

He said, "Young maid,

you're swearing wrong"

For six fine children

she had borne

At the well

below the valley, oh

Green grows the lily, oh

Right among the bushes, oh

If you be a man

of noble esteem

You'll tell to me

what happened to them

At the well

below the valley, oh

Green grows the lily, oh

Right among the bushes, oh

Two buried beneath

the stable door

At the well

below the valley, oh

Green grows the lily, oh

Right among the bushes, oh

You'll be seven years

a-ringin' the bell

But the Lord above,

he'll save me soul

From all this hell

Green grows the lily, oh

Right among the bushes, oh

Well, what is it

you were wanting to show me?

Come on, Kevin.

What's the secret?

What do you think

you're doing?

I'm going back down.

Kevin, stop!

Now, Kevin, behave yourself.

Now, you're my cousin!

What would your father say?

No. Please.

Please stop it.

Please, Kevin.

Please!

No. I'm begging you.

Please stop it.

No. Stop.

Please stop.

You. Get up.

Get up.

Get dressed. Hurry up.

I want you downstairs.

What's happening?

I don't know.

Shh.

Da!

Where's Margaret going?

Ma, where's Father Doyle

taking Margaret?

Where's the bloody brush?

Where is it?

Get off.

I'll never tell ye.

Right, Sonia.

Fart in her face.

I'm not farting in her face.

Do it!

Yours are more smellier.

Don't even think about it.

Jesus.

How do you do that?

Where's the bleedin' brush?

Oh, Jesus.

Take the damn thing.

It's my turn now.

I'm only on 18.

I've got 2 more.

You're on 20!

I've been counting.

If you two don't stop fighting,

I'll do it meself.

Isn't it a sin to be beautiful?

No.

Look at the Virgin Mary.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

It's a sin to be vain.

Vanity is a sin.

So what's your name, gorgeous?

Bernadette.

You're fine-looking.

Bernadette.

Lovely name.

My grandmother's name.

Very fond of it.

So are you coming up

to give us a kiss?

No chance.

Give a look of your legs, love.

Go on.

Excuse me?

Show us a bit of leg.

Go on.

Show us a bit more

than a bit of leg. Come on.

You spend all your time

hanging around playgrounds?

Which one of us do you like?

She fancies me.

How could she fancy you

with the stomach on you?

Right, lads.

That's enough.

Move it or I'll call the guards.

She's a right nag, isn't she?

- Just give us a kiss.

- Cheeky.

- Just why not?

- I'm not that kind of girl.

You wasn't saying that when

you were dating me, were you?

- Are you giving us a kiss?

- She's teasing us now, she is.

Come on up.

You've got a very good-looking

board, Bernadette.

He's beautiful, isn't he?

Look at his wee hat.

Ma.

Please.

Would you just look at him?

He's your grandson.

Ma, I've said I'm sorry.

I know it was sinful what I did.

But just look at him, Ma.

You can't blame him

for something he's nothing

to do with.

I know I've shamed you

and me da.

But just look at him, Ma.

Ma, would you just say

something... anything?

All right, Da.

Sit down, Rose.

My name is Father Doonigan.

I work for St. John's

Adoption Society.

Your father and I have discussed

your situation.

We feel it would be better

for the child

if you'd put him up

for adoption.

A child born out of wedlock

is a bastard child.

Would you have him go through

life as an outcast,

rejected and scorned by
