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

Joni was an unmarried girl[00:00:58]

Just turned twenty-seven[00:01:03]

When they sent her to the sisters[00:01:05]

For the way men looked at her[00:01:07]

Branded as a jezebel[00:01:14]

She knew she was not bound for Heaven[00:01:16]

She'd been cast in shame[00:01:20]

Into the Magdalene laundries[00:01:22]

Most girls went there pregnant[00:01:28]

Some by their own fathers[00:01:32]

Bridget got her belly[00:01:36]

From the parish priest[00:01:38]

They’re trying to get things white as snow[00:01:42]

All of those woe-begotten-daughters[00:01:46]

In the steaming stains[00:01:50]

Of the Magdalene laundries[00:01:51]

Prostitutes and destitutes[00:01:58]

And temptresses like Joni--[00:02:01]

Fallen women--[00:02:05]

Sentenced into dreamless drudgery [00:02:06]

Why do they call this heartless place[00:02:13]

Our Lady of Charity Of charity [00:02:17]

These bloodless brides of Jesus[00:02:27]

If they could just once glimpse their groom[00:02:30]

They'd drop their stones concealed behind their rosaries[00:02:34]

They wilt the grass they walk upon[00:02:42]

They leech the light out of a room[00:02:45]

They'd like to wash those girls down the drains[00:02:49]

Of the Magdalene laundries[00:02:52]

Peg O'Connell died today she was a cheeky girl[00:02:57]

They just stuffed her in a hole [00:03:02]

Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring [00:03:04]

Joni thinks she’ll die there too and that they'll tramp her into the dirt[00:03:12]

Like some lame bulb that never will bloom[00:03:19]

When the springtime comes When the springtime comes[00:03:22]

When the springtime comes When the springtime comes[00:03:29]
