I was an unmarried girl

I'd just turned twenty-seven

When they sent me to the sisters

For the way men looked at me

Branded as a jezebel

I knew I was not bound for Heaven

I'd be cast in shame

Into the Magdalene laundries

Most girls come here pregnant

Some by their own fathers

Bridget got that belly

By her parish priest

We're trying to get things white as snow

All of us woe-begotten-daughters

In the steaming stains

Of the Magdalene laundries

Prostitutes and destitutes

And temptresses like me

Fallen women

Sentenced into dreamless drudgery

Why do they call this heartless place

Our Lady of Charity?

Oh charity!

These bloodless brides of Jesus

If they had just once glimpsed their groom

Then they'd know and they'd drop the stones

Concealed behind their rosaries

They wilt the grass they walk upon

They leech the light out of a room

They'd like to drive us down the drain

At the Magdalene laundries

Peg O'Connell died today

She was a cheeky girl

A flirt

They just stuffed her in a hole!

Surely to God you'd think at least some bells should ring!

One day I'm going to die here too

And they'll plant me in the dirt

Like some lame bulb

That never blooms come any spring

Not any spring

No, not any spring

Not any spring

That's her own class: picks a paper once in her life, and bam! turns it in a song

This is my most favourite Song and Video on all of YouTube. "Perfect"...and Joni...well what can one say - Beautiful Genius. Bewitching and Spellbinding - as is the song.

You shouldn't throw the word "genius" around too often, but honest to God, Joni is a musical genius.

+BeareTube Looks like a small-bodied Collings. Maybe a Baby or 0. Not sure what they were making in the 90's. Email them.

If I had been one of those guys listening a few feet from her, THAT day would be a very precious day of my life.

This is a poignant song about one of my previous posts about the 800 baby remains just found in one of these 'laundries' in Ireland

Inspiring, soulful, crystal voice. Taught me how to sing as a girl. Still listening to The true Lady in music.

Seems current right now. Such a terrible story so beautifully delivered. Religion is not the problem. The practitioners? Joni Mitchell - The Magdalene Laundries (Live Toronto 1994)

You are disgusting. Simply disgusting. Hate the sinner not the sin because even we priests so dearly love to sin!
