Sufferin' Till Suffrage Songtext
von Riverdale Cast

Now you have heard of Women′s Rights
And how we've tried to reach new heights
If we′re "all created equal"
That's us too!

(Yeah!)

Well, sure, some men bowed down and called us "Mrs." (Yeah!)
Let us hang the wash out and wash the dishes, (Huh!)
But when the time rolled around to elect a president...

What did they say, Sister?


Oh, we were sufferin' until suffrage
Not a woman here could vote, no matter what her age
Then the 19th Amendment struck down that restrictive rule
(Oh yeah!)

And now we pull down on the lever
Cast our ballots and we endeavor
To improve our country, state, county, town, and school
(What a shame, Sister!)

Oh, we were sufferin′ until suffrage
Not a woman here could vote, no matter what her age
Then the 19th Amendment struck down that restrictive rule, yeah
(Oh yeah!)
