[Verse 1]
G Em
I was an unmarried girl, I'd just turned twenty-seven
G Em
When they sent me to the sisters for the way men looked at me
C Em
Branded as a Jezebel I knew I was not bound for Heaven
I'd be cast in shame into the Magdalene laundries
[Verse 2]
G Em
Most girls come here pregnant,some by their own fathers
G Em
Bridget got that belly by her parish priest,
C Em
We're trying to get things white as snow, all of us woe-begotten daughters
In the streaming stains of the Magdalene laundries
[Bridge]
C Em
Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like me
C Em
Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery
C Em
Why do they call this heartless place Our Lady of Charity?
Oh, charity
[Verse 3]
G Em
These bloodless brides of Jesus If they had just once glimpsed their groom, then they'd
know
G Em
and they'd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries
C Em
They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room
They'd like to drive us down the drain at the Magdalene laundries
[Verse 4]
G Em
Peg O'Connell died today, she was a cheeky girl, a flirt, they just stuffed her in a
hole!
G Em
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring!
C Em
One day I'm going to die here too and they'll plant me in the dirt
C Em
Like some lame bulb hat never blooms, come any spring
Not any spring
