《Textile Factory》歌词

[00:00:00] Textile Factory - Emitt Rhodes

[00:00:00] I'd like to tell you 'about my home town

[00:00:03] But it's awfully hard to explain to a stranger

[00:00:07] It's been a year since I went down

[00:00:09] To the place that I was born and raised sir oh

[00:00:15] I gotta make it rich I'm getting tired

[00:00:18] Of digging ditches back on the farm

[00:00:21] I got a girl I wanna marry and

[00:00:23] I know that she loves me

[00:00:26] Yes I'm ready for work I got my shirt

[00:00:28] Sleeves rolled up around my arms

[00:00:31] I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory

[00:00:36] Well my papa was a poor man but

[00:00:38] Always did the best he could

[00:00:41] And he whipped my behind whenever I wasn't good

[00:00:47] There were six of us children in my family

[00:00:51] Mmm and not a single one of us has

[00:00:54] Ever learned how to read

[00:00:56] Well I'm really not complaining my parents

[00:00:59] Were the best you could have

[00:01:02] Well I love my mama and I really respected my dad

[00:01:07] Well let me tell you that every Sunday

[00:01:09] Morning we would dress in our Sunday clothes

[00:01:13] And we would listen to a sermon

[00:01:14] From the preacher about our good Lord

[00:01:18] Well the preacher said : 'Child be thankful for the food you eat'

[00:01:23] But my tastes are getting bigger I think I'll be traveling East

[00:01:28] You know I gotta make it rich

[00:01:29] I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm

[00:01:33] I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me

[00:01:38] Yes I'm ready for work

[00:01:40] I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms

[00:01:43] I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory

[00:01:48] Well now listen here brother if you think you've got it bad

[00:01:53] Mmm well what do you think about the life I've had 

[00:01:58] Well let me tell you my father said to

[00:02:01] Me : 'Son you know you've got to earn your keep'

[00:02:04] So I've been working from sun up to sun

[00:02:06] Down since I was thirteen

[00:02:09] Well my father said : 'Boy be thankful got a place to sleep'

[00:02:15] But I've been sleeping awful restless

[00:02:16] And I think I'll be moving East

[00:02:19] You know I gotta make it rich

[00:02:21] I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm

[00:02:24] I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me

[00:02:29] Yes I'm ready for work

[00:02:31] I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms

[00:02:35] I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory

[00:02:39] You know I gotta make it rich

[00:02:41] I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm

[00:02:44] I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me
