《Millworker》歌词

[00:00:00] Now my grandfather was a sailor

[00:00:04] He blew in off the water

[00:00:07] My father was a farmer

[00:00:11] I his only daughter

[00:00:14] Took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts

[00:00:21] Who dies from too much whiskey

[00:00:24] And leaves me these three faces to feed

[00:00:31] Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard

[00:00:39] Millwork it ain't nothing but an awful boring job

[00:00:46] I'm waiting for a day dream

[00:00:49] To take me through the morning

[00:00:52] And put me in my coffee break

[00:00:56] Where I can have a sandwich and remember

[00:01:02] Then it's me and my machine

[00:01:06] For the rest of the morning

[00:01:10] For the rest of the afternoon

[00:01:15] And the rest of my life

[00:01:25] Now my mind begins to wander

[00:01:29] To the days back on the farm

[00:01:32] I can see my father smiling at me

[00:01:36] Swingin' on his arm

[00:01:39] I can hear my grand-dad's stories

[00:01:42] Of the storms out on Lake Erie

[00:01:46] Where vessels and cargos and fortunes

[00:01:52] And sailor's lives were lost

[00:02:24] Yes but it's my life has been wasted

[00:02:28] And I have been the fool

[00:02:31] To let this manufacture use my body for a tool

[00:02:38] I can ride home in the evening

[00:02:42] Staring at my hands

[00:02:45] Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl

[00:02:51] Ought to stand a better chance

[00:02:56] So may I work the mills

[00:02:59] Just as long as I am able

[00:03:03] And never meet the man whose

[00:03:07] Name is on the label

[00:03:11] It be me and my machine

[00:03:15] For the rest of the morning

[00:03:19] For the rest of the afternoon

[00:03:24] For the rest of my life
