St Therese from Holy Drinker by Robert Sunday
1.Andreas, a vagrant who sleeps beneath bridges by the Seine, meets an elderly stranger, who out of christian charity gives him 200 francs. Andreas accepts the money on the proviso that he's allowed to pay back the money at some later date. The stranger tells him to go to the Chapelle de St Marie des Batignolles, which houses a beloved statue of St Thérese de Lisieux, and give the money to the priest there.

Lyrics
Under the bridge I sleep
Paris is cold and unfriendly
Then one spring eve an old man
Came down the steps to me
Saying God sent him here
To this riverbank
To give to me
200 francs
I am a man of honour
I'll pay you back, have no fear
He said d'you know of Therese
At the Chapelle of St Marie
Sunday morning
Go see the priest
You owe it to her
St Therese
