DESCRIPTION:
Ann Lovett was a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl from Granard, County Longford, Ireland who died giving birth beside a grotto on 31 January 1984. Her baby son died at the same time and the story of her death played a huge part in a seminal national debate in the country at the time on women giving birth outside marriage

Everybody knew,Nobody said lyrics by nigel rolfe

Everybody knew, nobody said.
A week ago last Tuesday.
She was just fifteen years.
When she reached her full term.

She went to a grotto.
Just a field,
In The Middle of The Island.
To deliver herself.

Her Baby died,
She died
A week ago last Tuesday.
It was a sad, slow, stupid death for them both.

Everybody knew, nobody said.
At a Grotto
In a Field
In The Middle Of The Island
