Amish in Allamakee County northern Iowa wash
Wash,Washing wash
Monday and Friday
Lines from house
Lines to clothes lines
Some able to pull in
Some push out
Amish ladies use washing machine
Time machines
Rungers gas machines
Modern conviences
Dangerous
Little girls get crushed hands
Some people of of a stupid mind
Amish are not clean!
Amish are hardworking
Dilligent
Men most in Iowa no longer farm
Farm lands rented out
David Yorder traveled all over state
Fencing,roofing,shoing,carpetry
At last count David and Esther
Even children
Esther was told
‘ your healths in danger with more babies!’
Amish wives not allowed to say no
Wear buttons where saftey pins are approved
So every Monday and Friday
Wash,Washing Wash
Amish women tied to church ordain
Married to men
Women without right to even say
No!
When their sons leave the community
Son’s are forbidden to visit moms
Suzie Borntrigger and Anna Yoder
Pay no mind
Told me Val Heike
The elders of the church will Never stop them from allowing their sons to visit.
See love is more powerful
Sons always mother’s pride
Washy Washy Wash!
