(Linda Allen)
Hist'ry books give us
historical facts
Of soldiers and sailors and men with their axes
But who filled their
bellies and who washed their clothes
Who raised up the children, who nurtured their
souls?
Without all the women, now; where would we be ?
Working and caring
throughout history
Their hands on the plow, but their stories untold,
So
here's to the women, who shouldered the load!
The wilderness held you in the palm of her
hand,
It took more than muscle to settle this land,
Women together went straight to the
task
With schools and libraries-a city at last.
Chorus
It's down at the
fact'ry, it's out on the line
A woman is working from morning to night
Her mind on the
children, her hand on the frame
If the kids get in trouble, it's she who is
blamed
Chorus
Then it's back home again to do supper and chores
Canning
and mending and scrubbing the floors
Scarce see the children before they're in bed
Hard
life to follow for beans and fried bread
Chorus
In hard times and good times
the women would share
Their songs and their stories, their loves and their fears
And their
history's recorded, the song never ends
In the mem'ries of mothers and sisters and
friends.
Chorus.
