Anne Briggs - A Collection

The Doffing Mistress

Oh do you know her or do you not
This new doffing mistress we have got?
Elsie Thompson it is her name
And she helps her doffers at every frame.

(after each verse):
Fol de ri fol ra
Fol de ri fol ray

And Monday morning when she comes in
She hangs her coat on the highest pin.
Turns around just to greet her friends,
Crying, "Hi, doffers, tie up your ends!"

Some times the boss he looks in the door,
"Tie your ends up, doffers," he will roar.
Tie our ends up we surely do,
For Elsie Thompson but not for you.
