THEY TOLD ME I’M ADOPTED

[Verse 1]
They told me I’m adopted
I don’t know what that means
But I sure love my mom and da
As you can plainly see
I’m bound for a pleasant life
Right here in Galway
Someday I’ll be a teacher
And teach in Galway Bay!
[Chorus]
For I am Magdalen
And I will always be
Good to every body
And they’ll be good to me
I am Magdalen
[Verse 2]
I’ll be a model citizen
Of old Ireland
I’ll teach the kids to read and sing
Wouldn’t it be grand
Some day I’ll be a mom
Have children of my own
And be with my own family
And never be alone
[Chorus]
For I am Magdalen
And I will always be
Good to every body
And they’ll be good to me
I am Magdalen
I am Magdalen
