Belt-Line Girl - Agnes Sis Cunningham/Almanac Singers[00:00:00]
Written by:Agnes Sis Cunningham[00:00:02]
I stood on the station platform[00:00:05]
And looked at the lonesome track[00:00:09]
The train had gone around the curve[00:00:13]
The train that might never come back[00:00:17]
For it carried my soldier sweetheart away[00:00:21]
The one I loved so true[00:00:25]
My heart was sad but I did not weep[00:00:29]
I thought of the work to do[00:00:33]
Joe had gone to the fighting front[00:00:38]
And he left his job behind[00:00:41]
Now I must step into his place[00:00:45]
On the long assembly line[00:00:50]
I said I'll learn to build a ship[00:00:53]
I'll learn to build a plane[00:00:57]
For the faster we speed this belt line girls[00:01:02]
The quicker our boys return[00:01:06]
If you think that danger is far away[00:01:10]
And cannot reach our shore[00:01:13]
Go ask the wives of macarthur's men[00:01:18]
They'll tell you about this war[00:01:22]
Go ask the widows of the pearl harbor boys[00:01:26]
Our heroines brave and fine[00:01:30]
You'll find them at work in the training schools[00:01:34]
And on the assembly line[00:01:38]
If a thousand men leave a thousand jobs[00:01:43]
To go and fight the foe[00:01:47]
Our factory wheels would slacken their speed[00:01:51]
And the belts would move too slow[00:01:55]
But when a thousand hard working girls[00:01:59]
Step in and take a hand[00:02:03]
Out roll the tanks and the planes and guns[00:02:07]
And there's freedom in the land[00:02:10]
