Catalina’s Reward

Do you lack faith in the Lord?
Then take Catalina's reward
Speechless for seven long years
Past the point of crying tears

Catalina was in bed, I read
Spoke when struck upon the head
When a-Mary's image came a-tumbling down
Dealing her a heavy blow upon the crown

Now she can talk, now she can sing
Now she talks, now she sings

Now she can talk, now she can sing
Now she talks, now she sings

Chatted gaily with the neighbours yesterday
The pride of old Alicante
Even sings with the congregation
It has to be some holy revelation

Now she can talk, now she can sing
Now she talks, now she sings
