"Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron" is a traditional English folk song written in the 19th century about a woman carrying out one part of her linen chores each day of the week. In popular cultureThe musical comedy duo Flanders and Swann quoted the first 7/8 syllables of each verse, verbatim and notewise, at the beginning of each verse of The Gas Man Cometh, the first track on At The Drop of Another Hat. [1] [2]In 1973 the tune was used by the English composer John Rutter for the fourth movement of his Suite for Strings under the title Dashing Away.[3] [4]In Downton Abbey season 3, episode 3, Carson sings this song to himself after finding out that Mrs. Hughes does not have cancer. Lyrics'Twas on a [ Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | Saturday | Sunday ] morning When I beheld my darling She looked so neat and charming In every high degree She looked so neat and nimble, O [ A-washing | A-shaking | A-drying | A-airing | A-ironing | A-folding | A-wearing ] of her linen, O Refrain Dashing away with the smoothing iron Dashing away with the smoothing iron Dashing away with the smoothing iron She stole my heart away.
