Lyrics:

Upon nights this cold
So the story goes
Some folks say they see the ghost
Of Thomas Fisher wait
Outside the Ivy Gate

It was so long ago
The fishers plan their home
Until one fateful day the army letter came
It changed everything it came and summoned Tom away
To fight for King and Country

Oh, those months ahead were tougher each day
Their child was on the way
They soldiered on but come their happy day
Both were lost they say
Then buried in their grave
The fisher family plods to the Ivy Gate

In deep sorrow he laments to the lord
That he could live no more
Pleading 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
