Dashing Away With the Smoothing Iron
Dashing Away With the Smoothing Iron
Dashing Away With the Smoothing Iron
(Trad. Somerset)
'Twas on a Mon day morning
When I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev'ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble, O,
A-washing of her linen, O,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
She stole my heart away.
'Twas on a Tuesday morning
When I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev'ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble, O,
A-hanging out her linen, O,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
She stole my heart away.
'Twas on a Wednesday morning...
A-starching of her linen...
Thursday
A-ironing
Friday
A-folding
Saturday
A-airing
Sunday
A-wearing
