“She Works At The Arsenal Now”

WW 1.

Sheet music “She Works At The Arsenal Now”

Sung by the Woolwich Singers at the Greenwich Heritage Centre celebrate its tenth anniversary this year.

It’s a music hall romance by Robert DONNELLY; about a woman called Florrie who gets a job at the Arsenal while her beau and his chums are off at war.

 “My Florrie, she writes and says don’t worry, I work at Woolwich Arsenal now. Give my message to your chums, Girls are working ‘midst the shells and guns. Although ’tis tiring as you’re requiring Ammunition for the fighting line, We’ll do our share for you out there, For the sake of Auld Lang Syne.”
