Factory Girl — текст песни (The Roches)

As I went out walkin` one fine summer`s mornin`
the birds in the branches they did gaily sing
the lad and the lasses together were sportin`
goin` down to the fact`ry their work to begin

I spied a fair damsel far fairer than any
her cheeks like the red rose that none could excel
her skin like the lily that grows in yon valley
she`s my own bonnie Annie my factory girl

I stepped did up to her just thinkin` to view her
but at me she cast a proud look of disdain
sayin` "Stand off me young man and do not insult me
for although I am poor sure I think it no shame"

"It`s not to insult you fair maid I adore thee
ah pray grant me one favor it`s where do ya dwell?"
"Kind sir forgive me it`s now I must leave you
for I hear the dumb sound of the factory bell"

Now love is a thing that does rule every nation
good mornin` kind sir and I hope ya do well
my friends and relations would all frown upon it
besides I`m a hardworkin` factory girl

Oh it`s true I do love her but now she won`t have me
for her sake I`ll wander through valley and dell
and for her sake I`ll wander where no one can find me
I`ll die for the sake of my factory girl
