Throught the eyes of an innocent child Can't hide what is burning inside The shame and the guilt of disgrace They said she had fallen from grace To the arms of a train engineer Who escaped when the verdict was clear And saw she was quietly installed in the Magdalen Laundry
And oh you can find them there Slaving each day in the heat and the steam And oh every bloody stain Will be carefully scrubbed 'Till it's white and it's clean
The Sisters got angry today They took Bridie Power away They said she had broken the rules She swore that the priest from the school... If only they'd asked why she cried They said they'd concluded she'd lied The priest had his own alibi In the Magdalen Laundry
And oh you can find them there Slaving each day in the heat and the steam And oh every bloody stain Will be carefully scrubbed 'Till it's white and it's clean

And oh you can find them there Slaving each day in the heat and the steam And oh every bloody stain Will be carefully scrubbed 'Till it's white and it's clean
And oh you can find them there Slaving each day in the heat and the steam And oh every bloody stain Will be carefully scrubbed 'Till it's white and it's cleanTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
