Factor Girl Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

As I went out walking one fine summer morning 

The birds in the bushes did whistle and sing 

The lads and the lassies in couples were courting 

Going back to the factory their work to begin 

He spied one amongst them, she was fairer than any 

Her cheeks like the red rose that blooms in the spring 

Her hair like a lily that grows in yond valley 

She was only a hard working factory girl 

He steps up beside her, more closely to be with her 

She said "My young man, don't stare me so 

I've gold in my pocket and silver as well 

No more will I answer that factory call"
