The Magdalene Laundries

Verse 1
Suffer no more you little children forbid them not to hinder you
again, fare justice seeks your retribution, for these cruel deeds they are dammed to hell
Verse 2
Some young girls came here pregnant ,some came here entrusted to your care , betrayed and forced to slave labour behind the walls of the magdalene laundries.

Verse 3
A shaven head and a new identity , judged as sinners by this church driven society, to be left to die of starvation in these cold dark rooms some breath their last
Verse 4
Suffer no more you young women , forbid them not to hinder you
again , fare justice seeks your retribution , for these cruel deeds they are dammed to hell
Verse 5
Why ! are there so many buried here , in unmarked graves stuffed into a hole ,still no justice and no accountability , for these cruel deeds fare justice calls
Verse 6
Still you offer no apology , you betrayed so many broken families ,
you cruel hearted ones , you have dehumanised me , behind the walls of the magdalene laundries
Verse 7
Suffer no more you old women , some of you have died and
some are still living ,God bless you all alive and dead , for all the souls of these graves, fair justice will be served
