What Kind of Woman Lyrics
[00:00.33] Get Kathleen
[00:02.44] Get Kathleen, I tell you! Call the doctor!
[00:05.69] Is it alive? Oh, please, God, let it be.
[00:08.24] It's alive. It's a Negro child. A newborn baby boy.
[00:11.99] What kind of woman
[00:15.94] Would do such a thing?
[00:18.34] Why in God's name
[00:20.70] Is my husband not here?
[00:23.59] I'm such a fool!
[00:28.95] Why did I say
[00:30.15] He was free to go?
[00:31.31] What am I to do?
[00:32.24] Where are your instructions,
[00:33.57] My dear?
[00:36.25] You left me lists.
[00:39.05] Everything in lists!
[00:39.81] Well, your little lists
[00:40.26] Aren't very helpful,
[00:41.60] I fear!
[00:45.70] Each day, the maids
[00:50.46] Trudge up the hill.
[00:52.19] The hired help arrives.
[00:56.77] I never stopped to think
[01:00.02] They might
[01:01.02] Have lives beyond out lives...
[01:04.48] We found her in the cellar of a home on the next
[01:08.17] Block. She's a washwoman there. Her name is Sarah.
[01:11.44] Where will you take her?
[01:12.67] To the charity ward. Eventually she will have to
[01:14.61] Stand trial.
[01:15.67] What charges?
[01:17.08] Well, attempted murder, I should think.
[01:19.76] What's going to happen to the baby?
[01:21.46] They have places for unfortunates like this.
[01:24.14] I will take responsibility for mother and child.
[01:30.44] Please take Miss Sarah inside.
[01:45.61] What kind of woman
[01:59.19] Would do what I've done-
[02:01.25] Open the door
[02:03.99] To such chaos and pain!
[02:07.53] You would have
[02:11.89] Gently closed the door,
[02:14.31] And gently turned the key,
[02:18.97] And gently told me not to look,
[02:23.55] For fear of what I'd see.
[02:27.87] What kind of woman
[02:31.63] Would that have made me?
[02:32.65]
