Verse 1
G
Em
I was an unmarried girl
G
I'd just turned twenty- seven
When they sent me to the sisters
Em
C
For the way men looked at me
Branded as a Jezebel
Em
I knew I was not bound for Heaven
C
I'd be cast in shame
D
Em
Into the Magdalene laundries
G
Verse 2
Most girls come here pregnant
Em
G
Some by their own fathers
Em
Bridget got that belly by
C
her parish priest
We're trying to get things white as snow
Em
All of us woe- begotten- daughters
C
In the streaming stains
D
G
Em
Of the Magdalene laundries
Verse 3
C
Em
Prostitutes and destitutes
C
And temptresses like me
Fallen women
Sentenced into dreamless
Em
C
drudgery
Why do they call this heartless place
Em
Our Lady of Charity?
C
Oh, charity
Em
G
Verse 4
These bloodless brides of Jesus
Em
If they had just once glimpsed
their groom
Then they'd know,
G
and they'd drop the stones
Em
C
Concealed behind their rosaries
They wilt the grass they walk upon
Em
They leech the light out of a room
C
They'd like to drive us down the drain
D
Em
At the Magdalene laundries

Verse 5
Em
Peg O'Connell died today
She was a cheeky girl
A flirt
G
They just stuffed her in a hole!
Surely to God you'd think at least
Em
C
some bells should ring!
One day I'm going to die
here too
Em
And they'll plant me in
G
C
the dirt
Like some lame bulb
Em
That never blooms, come any spring
G
Not any spring
