Lyrics:

Doffin' Mistress
O do you know her, or do you not
This new doffin' mistress we have got?
Elsie Thompson it is her name
And she helps her doffers at every frame.
Ladli-right fol dol,
Ladli-right fol day.
On Monday morning when she comes in
She hangs her coat on the highest pin
Turns around for to view her frames
Shouting, Damn you, doffers, tie up your ends
Ladli-right fol dol,
Ladli-right fol day.

And when the boss he looks round the door
Tie your ends up, doffers, he will roar,
Tie our ends up we surely do
For Elsie Thompson but not for you.
Ladli-right fol dol,
Ladli-right fol day.

Yes, tie our ends up we surely do
For Elsie Thompson but not for you.
We'll tie our ends and we'll leave our frames
And wait for Elsie to return again.
Ladli-right fol dol,
Ladli-right fol day.
