The Jute Mill Song

guitar chords lyrics

June Tabor

O, dear me, the mill is running fast
And we poor shifters canna get nae rest
Shifting bobbins coarse and fine

They fairly make you work for your ten and nine
O, dear me, I wish this day were done
Running up and doon the Pass is nae fun
Shiftin', piecin', spinning warp, weft and twine
To feed and clothe ma bairnie offa ten and nine
O, dear me, the world is ill-divided
Them that works the hardest are the least provided
But I maun bide contented, dark days or fine
There's no much pleasure living offa ten and nine
