Spinning Jenny [song version]

by Ian Whiteley

Spinning Jenny

 

When times were hard old Reg Malone

Sent his daughters out to work

And they all went out diligently

Not being ones to shirk

Maria went to Hagenbach’s

And helped to bake the bread

While Jenny went to Albion Mills

To weave the worsted thread

 

She worked the uncombed worsted yarn

As swift and skilled as any

And those who knew her said of her

...
