The Ivy Gate -

Upon nights this cold

So the story goes

Some folk say they see the ghost of Thomas Fisher wait

Outside the Ivy Gate

It was so long ago

The Fishers planned their home Until one fateful day,

the army letter came

It changed everything

It came and summoned Tom away to ght for King and Country

Although those months ahead were tough for her each day Their child was on the

way She soldiered on

but come the happy day Both were lost they say Then buried in the grave The

Fisher family plot Close to the Ivy Gate

In deep sorrow he lamented to the Lord Vowed he could live no more

Grieving for his wife and their child stillborn He did take his life

Some still say they see him Out of the corner of their eye In the slate grey

rain

Outside the Ivy Gate
