Tommy Makem The Doffin Mistress
Oh, do you know her or do you not?
This new doffin mistress that we have got
Agnes Savage, it is her name
And she hangs her coat upon the highest frame
Chorus:
Raddley right fol ra, Raddley right fol ree
On Monday morning, when she comes in
She'll hang her coat upon the highest pin
She'll turn around for to view her girls
Saying 'Damn you doffers, lay up your ends'
Chorus
Lay up our ends, we will surely do
Our hands are steady and our hearts are true
Lay up our ends, we will surely do
For Lizzie Murphy, but not for you
Chorus
Oh, Lizzie Murphy, when you've gone away
It's every night that for you we'll pray
You've left us here with a broken heart
For there's no one left that will take our part
Chorus
