Luyện nghe bài hát The Washerwoman

She's a washerwoman
with the in her eyes
She's wondering as she the factory floor

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

She was born the backstreets in 1919
War began she was twenty-one
So she saw the flicker of a silent movie screen
But heard the cracking of a gun

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

But no knight in armour
would take her by the
Like did in the days before the war.

She tended to the troopers and she fended for the
So anxious to serve the best she
And friends of the family tell me how she loved to
And those same people say she was good

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

But given that chance
oh how dance again
Oh how take to the floor

But no in shining armour
take her by the hand
Like did in the days before the war.

I remember years ago my sister she was wed
And the was no washerwoman then
She the light-fantastic and her eyes glistened bright
In a way I I'd never see again.

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

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

She thinks of all the
and the faces she has
And the other things she'll see no more

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

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

Oh no knight in shining
take her by the hand
Like they did in the before the war.
