Dashing Away With the Smoothing Iron

Melody - Traditional Somerset

'Twas on a Monday morning
When I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev'ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble, O,
A-washing of her linen, O,
|: Dashing away with the smoothing iron, :|
She stole my heart away.
'Twas on a Tuesday morning
When I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev'ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble, O,
A-hanging out her linen, O
|: Dashing away with the smoothing iron, :|
She stole my heart away.
