Luyện nghe bài hát The Washerwoman

She's a washerwoman
the teardrops in her eyes
She's wondering as she scrubs the factory

She thinks of all the
and the she has seen
And the things she'll never see no more

She was born the backstreets in 1919
War began when she was
So she seldom saw the flicker of a silent movie
But often the cracking of a gun

But given chance again
oh how she'd again
Oh how she'd take to the

But no knight in shining
would take her by the
Like they did in the before the war.

She tended to the troopers and she for the land
So anxious to the best she could
And of the family tell me how she loved to dance
And those people say that she was good

But the years have stole her beauty like they often to do
And who'd thought it looking at her now
That the hand that her partner's hand as she waltzed on through the night
Wiped the sweat from the washerwoman's

But given chance again
oh how she'd again
Oh how she'd to the floor

But no knight in armour
would her by the hand
Like they did in the days the war.

I remember seven ago my sister she was wed
And the lady was no then
She tripped the light-fantastic and her glistened bright
In a way I thought I'd see again.

And the legs she had crucified on endless factory floors
They led her through the footsteps of her
She was first before a dance-band, last to the floor
Oh how she wished that night would last

But now just a washerwoman
with the teardrops in her
She's wondering as she scrubs the floor

She thinks of all the
and the faces she has
And the other she'll never see no more

But given that again
oh how she'd again
Oh how she'd to the floor

But no knight in shining
would take her by the
they did in the days before the war.

Oh no knight in shining
would her by the hand
they did in the days before the war.
