Traditonal Irish song that starts out "As I went out walking one fine summers morning the birds on yon bushes did warble and sing gay lads and gay lasses in couples were sporting going down to yon factory their work to begin...." [Roud 1659; Henry H127; Ballad Index K221; VWML AW/5/42, RVW2/2/53; Bodleian Roud 1659; Wiltshire 300 ; trad.]
NOTE: Irishman Ralph McTell has an unrelated 1969 song also called Factory Girl that starts out "Hurrying across the bridge before the siren calls. This morning she's chasing her shadow, along the factory wall..." - Licensing
