Well, did she leave her home that morning with a song in her heart?
Did she walk or take the tram or drive her own horse and cart?
Did she march up to that Town Hall without fear or shame?
Can anybody tell me now, what was her name?
What was her name? Tell me, what was her name?
That woman striding up to that ballot box to claim
The right to make her mark and set the world aflame
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
Was she a real lady in her bombazine and furs?
Or was the hard life of a miner's wife hers?
Well, once you're in that voting booth, it's all the same
Can anybody tell me now, what was her name?
What was her name? Tell me, what was her name?
That woman striding up to that ballot box to claim
The right to make her mark and set the world aflame
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
And did she understand the fight that brought her to this place?
Did she have a husband, thought it was a national disgrace?
Was she part of the struggle? Was she whore or dame?
Can anybody tell me now, what was her name?
What was her name? Tell me, what was her name?
That woman striding up to that ballot box to claim
The right to make her mark and set the world aflame
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
Now some people take it for granted when they go down to vote
And some say it's a nuisance and they'd really rather not
But the right to have my say is one I'll always claim
Like that sister before me, I'll go down and sign my name
What was her name? Tell me, what was her name?
That woman striding up to that ballot box to claim
The right to make her mark and set the world aflame
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
Oh, what was her name? Tell me, what was her name?
That woman striding up to that ballot box to claim
The right to make her mark and set the world aflame
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
Oh, what was her name? Tell me, what was her name?
That woman striding up to that ballot box to claim
The right to make her mark and set the world aflame
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
She's a sister of mine but tell me, what was her name?
