31. Washerwoman
 
 
THE WASHERWOMAN is a member of the Salvation Army.
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.        5
Rubbing underwear she sings of the Last Great Washday.
