An ode to the deaths of young girls who tragically died during the 1911 fire that broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.
[Verse 1]
Once it started
The frail and fainthearted
Just withered to the floor
Oh, so sadly
We examined hands burned badly
By that which no man fears more
[Chorus]
The terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire
[Verse 2]
My best friend was
Alone in the alcove
Does anyone see her there?
Such a sweet face
Trapped in a staircase
By the smell of her own burning hair and the
[Chorus]
Terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire
[Bridge]
Glow baby glow as the embers they died there
Nobody knows what we saw inside there
Twisting and burning, the girls' fine young bodies
Yes, we're burning can you help us please?
Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees
Oh, My Little Shirtwaist Fire
[Segue]
Girls work hard for
Small rewards or
Invitations to dine
Or one kind word from
One who loves them but
What I have earned is mine
[Chorus]
The terrible flames of
All that remain of
My Little Shirtwaist Fire
