Yes… Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron is a song about laundry. But it’s a piece of music full of energy and fun. This is our full-powered version of the song we previously released as one of our “surprisingly easy” pieces.. Nevertheless, we hope you’ll try it, and find it to be as wonderful as we have!
‘Twas on a Monday morning
When I beheld 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
When I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev’ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble, O,
A-hanging out her linen, O
|: Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
She stole my heart away.
‘Twas on a Wednesday morning . .
A-starching of her linen . . . .
‘Twas on a Thursday morning . . . .
A-ironing of her linen . . . .
‘Twas on a Friday morning . . . .
A-folding of her linen . . . .
‘Twas on a Saturday morning . . . .
A-airing of her linen . . . .
‘Twas on a Sunday morning . . . .
A-wearing of her linen . . . .
