Chorus—Press onward, do not fear, sisters, etc.
Say not you’r strong, and love to work,
Are healthier than your brother,
Who for a blacksmith is designed,
Such feelings you must smother;
Your restless hands fold up or gripe
Your waist unto a span,
And spend your strength in looking out
To hail the coming man.
Chorus—Press onward, do not fear, sisters, etc.
