Luyện nghe bài hát The Washerwoman

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

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

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

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

But no in shining armour
would her by the hand
Like they did in the before the war.

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

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

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

But no knight in armour
take her by the hand
Like they did in the before the war.

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

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

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

She of all the places
and the she has seen
And the other things never see no more

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

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

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