Here's To the Women!
History 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 them in the palm of her hand It took more than muscle to settle this land Women together set straight to the task With schools and libraries, a city at last CHORUS
Some came here from Mexico, Norway, Japan To raise the good crops in this faraway land Some came here as picture brides, so little choice 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Some came as slaves with no hope and no voice
And deep in the forests, and out on the plains Some women were watching as new women came And some longed for friendship and offered a hand But politicians and soldiers soon bloodied the land CHORUS
Some women grew tired of having no say So they listened to Abigail, Emma and May For fifty long years they fought for the vote So their daughters could enter the future with hope
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 memory of mothers and sisters and friends CHORUS
