poor little factory girls - jennifer reid lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
they are up in the morning right early
they’re sometimes up afore leet;
i hear their clogs they are clamping
as the little things go dahn the street

[verse 2]
they are off in the morning right early
with their baskets o’ jock on their arm;
the bell is ting*tonging, ting*tonging
as they enter the mill in a swarm

[verse 3]
they are kapering backward and forward
their ends to keep up if they can;
they are doing their utmost endeavours
for fears o’ the frown o’ the man

[verse 4]
wi’ fingers so nimble and supple
the twist, an’ they twine, an’ they twirl
such walking, an’ running, an’ kneeling
does the poor little factory girl

[verse 4]
they are bouncing about like a shuttle
they’re kneeling an’ rubbing the floor;
while their wee little mates they are doffing
preparing the spindles for more
[verse 5]
them two little things they are the thickest
they help one another ’tis plain;
they try to be best and the quickest
the smiles o’ their master to gain

[verse 6]
and now from her ten hours’ labour
back to her cottage shoo shogs;
aw hear by the tramping an’ singing
’tis the factory girl in her clogs

[verse 7]
and at night when shoo’s folded i’ slumber
shoo’s dreaming o’ noises and drawls:
of all human toil under*rated
’tis our poor little factory girl’s
