the factory girl - sarah makem lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i went a*walking one fine summer’s morning
the birds on the branches they sweetly did sing
the lads and the lassies together were sporting
going down to yon factory their work to begin

[verse 2]
i spied a wee damsel more fairer than venus
her skin, like a lily, not one could excel
her cheeks like the red rose that grew in yon valley
she’s my one only goddess, she’s a sweet factory girl

[verse 3]
i stepped it up to her, it was for to view hеr
when on me she cast a bright look of disdain
“stand off mе, stand off me and do not insult me
for, although i’m a poor girl, i think it no shame.”

[verse 4]
“i don’t mean to harm you, i’m sure i would scorn it
but grant me one favour, pray: where do you dwell?”
“i am a poor girl without home or relations
and, besides, i am a hard*working factory girl

[verse 5]
well, now to conclude and to finish these verses
this couple got married and both are doing wello
so, lads, fill your glasses and drink to the lasses
till we hear the dumb sound of the sweet factory bell
