Magdalene Laundries - Christy Moore[00:00:00]

When they sent her to the sisters [00:00:15]

Because of the way men looked at her [00:00:17]

Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven [00:00:24]

She had been cast in shame into the Magdalen launderies [00:00:31]

Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers [00:00:40]

Bridget got her belly from the Parish Priest [00:00:49]

They're trying to wash things as white [00:00:56]

As snow all of those woe-begotten daughters [00:00:58]

In the steaming stains of the Magdalen launderies [00:01:04]

Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like Joanie [00:01:18]

Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery [00:01:26]

Why do the call this place Our Lady Of Charity [00:01:34]

Of Charity [00:01:43]

These bloodless brides of Jesus [00:01:50]

If they could just once glimpse their groom [00:01:53]

They'd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries [00:01:58]

They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room [00:02:07]

They'd like to wash [00:02:14]

Those girls down the drains of The Magdalene Launderies [00:02:15]

Peg O'Connell died today [00:02:27]

She was a cheeky girl they stuffed her in a hole [00:02:30]

Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring [00:02:35]

Joanie thinks she'll die there too [00:02:43]

And that they'll tramp her in the dirt [00:02:47]

Like some lame bulb that never will bloom [00:02:51]

When the springtime comes [00:02:55]

When the springtime comes[00:03:03]
