Burning Salt - Ginnie Lyrics

The movement and the doors
Wasn't it maddening
You refused to scrub the floor
In the castle of half stories
And bad coffee

And the women had come up for moral support
Washing their hair during a break in court
Crowded around for the soap on the wall
You were glad they were there

Ginnie
Oh Ginnie
Our Ginnie

Lights out girls
We are not girls we are women
You spoke for them all
Those sinned against
And those sinning

And you knew that your mother would not have approved
So that's what you'd do
And John would've paid the fine for you
But you wouldn't let him

Ginnie
Oh Ginnie
Our Ginnie

Ginnie
What are we to do with you
Ginnie
Our Ginnie
