WASHERWOMAN

Carl Sandburg

 

All:             The washerwoman is a member of the Salvation Army

 

Solo:          And over the tub of suds rubbing underwear clean

                   She sings that Jesus will wash her sins away

                   And the red wrongs she has done God and man

                   Shall be white as driven snow.

 

All:   Rubbing underwear she sings of the Last Great Washday.
