[00:00.00]Magdalen Laundries - Christy Moore
[00:15.60]When they sent her to the sisters
[00:17.89]Because of the way men looked at her
[00:20.73]
[00:24.56]Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven
[00:31.60]She had been cast in shame into the Magdalen launderies
[00:37.05]
[00:40.44]Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers
[00:47.69]
[00:49.77]Bridget got her belly from the Parish Priest
[00:53.21]
[00:56.19]They're trying to wash things as white
[00:58.55]As snow all of those woe-begotten daughters
[01:03.53]
[01:04.70]In the steaming stains of the Magdalen launderies
[01:10.59]
[01:18.09]Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like Joanie
[01:21.52]
[01:26.13]Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery
[01:30.65]
[01:34.19]Why do the call this place Our Lady Of Charity
[01:40.55]
[01:43.00]Of Charity
[01:44.33]
[01:50.16]These bloodless brides of Jesus
[01:52.63]
[01:53.52]If they could just once glimpse their groom
[01:56.61]
[01:58.33]They'd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries
[02:03.93]
[02:07.02]They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room
[02:13.43]
[02:14.20]They'd like to wash
[02:15.28]Those girls down the drains of The Magdalene Launderies
[02:20.81]
[02:27.36]Peg O'Connell died today
[02:29.85]
[02:30.50]She was a cheeky girl they stuffed her in a hole
[02:34.67]
[02:35.27]Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring
[02:40.99]
[02:43.98]Joanie thinks she'll die there too
[02:47.06]And that they'll tramp her in the dirt
[02:49.98]
[02:51.63]Like some lame bulb that never will bloom
[02:55.53]When the springtime comes
[02:57.53]
[03:03.51]When the springtime comes
