Biddy Early Biddy Early
This is a true story about an old Wise Woman who lived in the wilds of
West Ireland in the late 1800's.
She was a Seer, Healer. The stories about her are legendary. People
used to come to her with ailments & troubles.
She would look into a blue glass bottle that had 'things' in the
bottom. She would shake it and peer inside.
By this she would tell the folk what their problems & ailments were
and how to solve them.
It is said that the Faerie Folk gave her this blue glass bottle, and
that she could see & speak to them.
Upon her death, her blue glass bottle disappeared never to be seen again.

You left too soon Biddy Early
Please come back Biddy Early Biddy Early
