Dashing away with the smoothing iron
A setting from John Rutter's 'Five Traditional Songs'. The text is simple, while the arrangement is varied and charming.
’Twas on a Monday morning
And there I saw 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 . . .
. . . A-hanging out her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Wednesday morning . . .
. . . A-starching of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Thursday morning...
. . . A-ironing of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Friday morning...
. . . A-folding of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Saturday morning...
. . . A-airing of her linen O . . .
’Twas on a Sunday morning...
. . . A-wearing of her linen O . . .
(English traditional song, arranged by John Rutter)
