Kate Rusby - Serving Girl’s Holiday lyrics

rate me

I've waited longing for today

Spindle, bobbin and spool away

In joy and bliss I'm off to play

Upon this high holiday

Chorus:

Spindle, bobbin and spool away

Upon this high holiday

The floors haven't been cleaned or swept

The fireplace hasn't been cleaned or kept

I haven't cut the rushes yet

Upon this high holiday

Chorus

The milk into the pails must go

I have to roll this bowl of dough

It clogs my nails and fingers so

Upon this high holiday

Chorus

When we go along the track

At the inn, this Sunday, Jack

We’ll whet my whistle and pay my whack

As on ev'ry holiday

Chorus x 2
