On one side was Albany Avenue[00:00:11]
On the other side a rushing creek[00:00:22]
Laid in Flemish bond[00:00:29]
Three stories high a fortress of brick[00:00:32]
This was a place of employ[00:00:37]
The Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works[00:00:40]
But it still hurts[00:00:42]
When I think of the privileged captivity[00:00:43]
Of the mill girl like me[00:00:47]
Kept sequestered[00:00:51]
Only seen on a rope bridge[00:00:52]
That hangs high over the stream[00:00:55]
We are kept like galley slaves[00:00:57]
While strangers decorate our father's graves[00:01:02]
A dark secret of this river this creek[00:01:05]
This stream oh what does it mean[00:01:09]
You'll hear no flattery at the factory[00:01:14]
At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works[00:01:20]
There comes an undertone of frantic in her stitchery[00:01:28]
Idle talk do the turn to the wicked[00:01:42]
Take a listen you'll surely see[00:01:45]
Between the girls a foul ensued[00:01:50]
Our heroine turns in word[00:01:54]
To her collection[00:01:57]
To examine her collection[00:01:58]
Her collection of two hundred and twenty-five smiles[00:02:00]
You'll hear no flattery at the factory[00:02:05]
At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works[00:02:14]
You'll hear no flattery at the factory[00:02:21]
At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works[00:02:27]
Each decision we make is based on love or fear[00:02:29]
Shall I be kind or cruel or fake[00:02:40]
Shall I now shed a tear[00:02:49]
You can see them up in the windows of the factory[00:02:54]
Any night of the week[00:02:58]
Like beautifully-gowned wax figures on display[00:03:01]
With the loveliest eyes you've ever seen[00:03:04]
Squinting to baste the flouts[00:03:08]
Basting underskirts as big as wagon wheels[00:03:10]
Stabbing feelings with a needle[00:03:15]
Do you like how that feels[00:03:19]
You'll hear no flattery at the factory[00:03:27]
At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works[00:03:33]
You'll hear no flattery at the factory[00:03:38]
At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works[00:03:58]
