Intro
F
[Verse 1]
F Dm
Joanie was an unmarried girl just turned twenty-seven
F Dm
When they sent her to the sisters because of the way men looked at her
A# Dm
Branded as a jezebel she knew she was not bound for heaven
A# C F
She had been cast in shame into the Magdalene laundries
[Verse 2]
F Dm
Most girls went there pregnant some by their own fathers
F Dm
Bridget got her belly from the Parish Priest
A# Dm
They're trying to get things as white as snow, all of those woe-begotten daughters
A# C F
In the steaming stains of the Magdalene laundries
[Bridge]
A# Dm
Prostitutes and destitutes and temptresses like Joanie
A# Dm
Fallen women sentenced into dreamless drudgery
A# Dm
Why do the call this place Our Lady Of Charity?
A#
Of Charity?
[Verse 3]
F Dm
These bloodless brides of Jesus if they could just once glimpse their groom
F Dm
They'd drop the stones concealed behind their rosaries
A# Dm
They wilt the grass they walk upon they leech the light out of a room
A# C F
They'd like to wash those girls down the drains of The Magdalene Launderies
[Outro]
F Dm
Peg O'Connell died today. She was a cheeky girl, they stuffed her in a hole
F Dm
Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring
A# Dm
Joanie thinks she'll die there too and that they'll tramp her in the dirt
A# Dm
Like some lame bulb that never will bloom when the springtime comes
A#
When the springtime comes
Dm
When the springtime comes
A#
When the springtime comes
Dm A# Dm A# F#m
