And she helps her doffers at every frame

And she helps us doffers at every frame

Chorus (repeated after each verse):
Ladli-right fol dol
Ladli-right fol dol

Chorus (repeated after each verse):
Ra de ri fol ra
Ra de ri fol ray

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.”

And every morning when she comes in
She hangs her coat on the highest pin
Turns around for to view her friends
Saying, “Damn you, doffers, tie up your ends!”

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

And then our boss he come in at last
His legs are bowed like an old jackass
Sticks his head all around the door
“Tie your ends up, doffers,” he loudly roar

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
