《Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works》歌词

[00:00:11] On one side was Albany Avenue

[00:00:22] On the other side a rushing creek

[00:00:29] Laid in Flemish bond

[00:00:32] Three stories high a fortress of brick

[00:00:37] This was a place of employ

[00:00:40] The Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works

[00:00:42] But it still hurts

[00:00:43] When I think of the privileged captivity

[00:00:47] Of the mill girl like me

[00:00:51] Kept sequestered

[00:00:52] Only seen on a rope bridge

[00:00:55] That hangs high over the stream

[00:00:57] We are kept like galley slaves

[00:01:02] While strangers decorate our father's graves

[00:01:05] A dark secret of this river this creek

[00:01:09] This stream oh what does it mean

[00:01:14] You'll hear no flattery at the factory

[00:01:20] At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works

[00:01:28] There comes an undertone of frantic in her stitchery

[00:01:42] Idle talk do the turn to the wicked

[00:01:45] Take a listen you'll surely see

[00:01:50] Between the girls a foul ensued

[00:01:54] Our heroine turns in word

[00:01:57] To her collection

[00:01:58] To examine her collection

[00:02:00] Her collection of two hundred and twenty-five smiles

[00:02:05] You'll hear no flattery at the factory

[00:02:14] At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works

[00:02:21] You'll hear no flattery at the factory

[00:02:27] At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works

[00:02:29] Each decision we make is based on love or fear

[00:02:40] Shall I be kind or cruel or fake

[00:02:49] Shall I now shed a tear

[00:02:54] You can see them up in the windows of the factory

[00:02:58] Any night of the week

[00:03:01] Like beautifully-gowned wax figures on display

[00:03:04] With the loveliest eyes you've ever seen

[00:03:08] Squinting to baste the flouts

[00:03:10] Basting underskirts as big as wagon wheels

[00:03:15] Stabbing feelings with a needle

[00:03:19] Do you like how that feels

[00:03:27] You'll hear no flattery at the factory

[00:03:33] At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works

[00:03:38] You'll hear no flattery at the factory

[00:03:58] At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works

[00:04:03] At the Kinderhook Hoopskirt Works
