about

So many women in history are forever nameless. For Women's History month 1982, it was a delight in to discover a book of Revolutionary Era women with illustrations of their shop names, bookplates, and other evidence linking their names to their work.

lyrics

Butcher, baker, candlestick maker
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
Printer, poet, soldier, farmer
Woman's work is never done.

CHORUS:
And by that work she set us free
One more daughter of liberty.

Abigail wrote from the farm
"I work from dawn 'til setting sun;
Remember the ladies, my dear John,"
Woman's work is never done. CHORUS

Mistress Mercy Otis Warren
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
For freedom's cause she plies her pen
Woman's work is never done. CHORUS

Mary Salmon your gate will latch
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
Blacksmith work done with dispatch
Woman's work is never done. CHORUS

From Boston, midwife Mary Bass
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
You may depend on her assistance
Woman's work is never done. CHORUS

Priscilla Abbot, at her shop
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
Imports and sells goods from Europe
Woman's work is never done. CHORUS

Liberty makes strong the weak
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
Makes Phyllis Wheatley's instinct speak
Woman's work is never done. CHORUS

Butcher, baker, candlestick maker
Works from dawn 'til setting sun
Printer, poet, soldier, farmer
Woman's work is never done.

CHORUS: And by that work they set us free
Live on, daughters of li-ber-ty!
