*Verse 1*
In
our
home
there
lived
a
girl
so
true,
Punctual,
obedient,
in
all
she
would
do,
Mary
Gorrety,
early
before
the
dawn,
Sweeping
the
compound
before
school
was
on.
Books
under
the
lamp
when
night
was
deep,
Others
were
sleeping,
but
she
could
not
sleep,
Challenges
many,
fees
were
not
there,
But
Asiro
knelt
down
in
humble
prayer. *
Chorus*
Mary
Gorrety
Asiro,
with
an
open
heart,
A
loving
heart,
you
gave
your
whole
part,
You
give
wholesomely,
you
never
complain,
Our
nurse,
our
joy,
after
all
the
pain.
Now
the
family
prays
for
you
night
and
day,
