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