《Cotton Mill Colic》歌词

[00:00:00] Cotton Mill Colic - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)

[00:00:05] When you go to work well you work like the devil

[00:00:07] At the end of the week you're not on the level

[00:00:09] Payday comes you ain't got a penny

[00:00:12] 'Cause when you pay your bills you got so many

[00:00:14] I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will

[00:00:16] 'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill

[00:00:33] When you buy clothes on easy terms

[00:00:35] Collector treats you like a measly worm

[00:00:38] One dollar down and the Lord knows

[00:00:40] If you can't make a payment

[00:00:41] They take your clothes

[00:00:42] I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will

[00:00:44] 'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill

[00:00:52] Payday comes you pay your rent

[00:00:53] End of the week you ain't got a cent

[00:00:56] To buy fat-backed meat pinto beans

[00:00:58] Cook up a mess o' turnip greens

[00:01:00] I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will

[00:01:03] 'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill

[00:01:16] Ashes to ashes and dust to dust

[00:01:18] Let the rich man live and the poor man bust

[00:01:20] We'll never make it we never will

[00:01:23] As long as we work in a rounding mill

[00:01:26] I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will

[00:01:28] 'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill
