In June 1950 a New Saint was declared
Born of humble parent was a child of our time
The loving daughter of the Gorettis
A loving child she became
Loved by everyone who knew her.
But a dark force was to enter her life
A ne'r do well, Alessandro
Chorus
Little Maria, she was gentle and kind
Holy and pure, she preferred to stay
To die rather than sin, that was the way
She would remain
Saturday, 5th July was a dark dark day
When the [illegible] of the beans was in progress
Maria was left to mind the house
With mending Alessandro's shirt
And minding her baby sister
She didn't notice Alessandro coming up the stairs
He struck out and left her
In a pool of blood
When she was dying
She pardoned her killer
And wanted him with her in heaven
A generous soul she was, indeed
We can all learn from her
Repeat chorus
Little Maria, she was gentle and kind
Holy and pure, she preferred to stay
To die rather than sin, that was the way
She would remain
