Once it started 
The frail and fainthearted 
Just withered to the floor 
Oh, so sadly 
We examined hands burned badly 
By that which no man fears more. 

The terrible flames of 
All that remain of 
My Little Shirtwaist Fire 

My best friend 
Was alone in the alcove, 
Does anyone see her there? 

Such a sweet face 
Trapped in a staircase 
By the smell of her own burning hair and the 

Terrible flames of 
All that remain of 
My Little Shirtwaist Fire 

Glow baby glow as the embers they died there, 
Nobody knows what we saw inside there. 
Twisting and burning, the girls' fine young bodies 

Yes, we're burning can you help us please? 
Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees 
Oh, My Little Shirtwaist Fire. 

Girls work hard for 
Small rewards or 
Invatations to dine. 

Or one kind word from 
One who loves them but 
What I have earned is mine- 

The terrible flames of 
All that remain of 
My Little Shirtwaist Fire
