Washerwoman |
It feels like it’s a Monday every day |
This steam is going to melt my life away |
Scrub, scrub, that’s all I do |
I sometimes wonder what I’m coming to |
There ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
The clothes go out, those clothes keep coming in |
Carbolic’s going to get beneath my skin |
Scrub, scrub, that’s all I do |
I sometimes wonder what I’m coming to |
There ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
Bedsheets hanging on the line |
A sailing ship to take me home |
But I know I’ll be here forever now |
So long ago, so long ago |
My brow will sweat, the mangle’s gonna turn |
On thirty-third and third that’s where I’ll earn |
And it’s scrub, scrub, that’s all I do |
I sometimes wonder what I’m coming to |
There ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub |
Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub |
I’m up to me oxters in a Belfast sink |
(Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub) |
I traded all my looks for smokes and drink |
(Rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub, rub-a-dub) |
Ans it’s scrub, scrub, that’s all I do |
Oh bloody hell what have I to |
There ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
Bedsheets hanging on the line |
A sailing ship to take me home |
But I know I’ll be here forever now |
So long ago, so long ago |
No, there ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
Those washday blues |
Ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
There ain’t no cure for the washday blues |
Those washday blues |
Those washday blues |
Those washday blues |
