| [00:23.000] | I was an unmarried girl |
| [00:25.800] | I'd just turned twenty-seven |
| [00:30.000] | When they sent me to the sisters |
| [00:34.350] | For the way men looked at me |
| [00:37.350] | Branded as a jezebel |
| [00:41.800] | I knew I was not bound for Heaven |
| [00:45.800] | I'd be cast in shame |
| [00:47.850] | Into the Magdalene laundries |
| [00:59.500] | Most girls come here pregnant |
| [01:03.500] | Some by their own fathers |
| [01:08.150] | Bridget got that belly |
| [01:10.550] | By her parish priest |
| [01:15.000] | We're trying to get things white as snow |
| [01:17.680] | All of us woe-begotten-daughters |
| [01:21.400] | In the streaming stains |
| [01:23.850] | Of the Magdalene laundries |
| [01:35.000] | Prostitutes and destitutes |
| [01:39.000] | And temptresses like me |
| [01:41.300] | Fallen women |
| [01:44.350] | Sentenced into dreamless drudgery ... |
| [01:50.770] | Why do they call this heartless place |
| [01:54.300] | Our Lady of Charity? |
| [01:57.630] | Oh charity! |
| [02:07.050] | These bloodless brides of Jesus |
| [02:10.000] | If they had just once glimpsed their groom |
| [02:13.500] | Then they'd know, and they'd drop the stones |
| [02:17.500] | Concealed behind their rosaries |
| [02:21.100] | They wilt the grass they walk upon |
| [02:25.800] | They leech the light out of a room |
| [02:28.800] | They'd like to drive us down the drain |
| [02:32.300] | At the Magdalene laundries |
| [02:44.000] | Peg O'Connell died today |
| [02:46.600] | She was a cheeky girl, A flirt |
| [02:49.300] | They just stuffed her in a hole! |
| [02:51.250] | Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring! |
| [02:58.450] | One day I'm going to die here too |
| [03:02.100] | And they'll plant me in the dirt |
| [03:07.100] | (Like) Some lame bulb （ |
| [03:08.500] | That never blooms come any spring |
| [03:13.500] | How any spring |
| [03:16.400] | Oh.... |
| [03:32.700] | Ah... |
| [03:41.050] | Nobody any spring |
| [03:50.200] | Not any spring |
