Factory Girl Lyrics by The Chieftains
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
As I went out walking one fine summer morning
The birds in the bushes did whistle and sing
The lads and the lasses in couples were courtin'
Going back to the factory their work to begin

He spied one among them, she was fairer then many
Her cheeks like the red rose that blooms in the spring
Her hair like the lily that grows in Yon' valley
She was only a hard-working factory girl

He sat soft beside her, more closely to view her
She says, "My young man, don't stare me so
I gold in my pocket and silver as well
No more will I answer that factory call"
As I went out walking one fine summer morning   The birds in the bushes did whistle and sing   The lads and the lasses in couples were courtin'   Going back to the factory their work to begin      He spied one among them, she was fairer then many   Her cheeks like the red rose that blooms in the spring   Her hair like the lily that grows in Yon' valley   She was only a hard-working factory girl      He sat soft beside her, more closely to view her   She says, "My young man, don't stare me so   I gold in my pocket and silver as well   No more will I answer that factory call"
