5 Traditional Songs: No. 5. Dashing away with the smoothing iron
'Twas on a Monday morning
That I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-washing of her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
'Twas on a Tuesday morning
That I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-hanging out her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
'Twas on a Wednesday morning
That I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-starching of her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
'Twas on a Thursday morning
That I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-ironing of her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
'Twas on a Friday morning
That I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-folding of her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
'Twas on a Saturday morning
That I beheld my darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-airing of her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
'Twas on a Sunday morning
That I beheld me darling
She looked so neat and charming
In every high degree
She looked so neat and nimble-o
A-wearing of her linen-o
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
Dashing away with the smoothing iron
She stole my heart away
