作词 : Taylor | |
Now my grandfather was a sailor | |
He blew in off the water | |
My father was a farmer | |
And i, his only daughter | |
Took up with a no good millworking man | |
From massachusetts | |
Who dies from too much whiskey | |
And leaves me these three faces to feed | |
Millwork ain't easy | |
Millwork ain't hard | |
Millwork it ain't nothing | |
But an awful boring job | |
I'm waiting for a daydream | |
To take me through the morning | |
And put me in my coffee break | |
Where i can have a sandwich | |
And remember | |
Then it's me and my machine | |
For the rest of the morning | |
For the rest of the afternoon | |
And the rest of my life | |
Now my mind begins to wander | |
To the days back on the farm | |
I can see my father smiling at me | |
Swinging on his arm | |
I can hear my granddad's stories | |
Of the storms out on lake eerie | |
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes | |
And sailors' lives were lost | |
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted | |
And i have been the fool | |
To let this manufacturer | |
Use my body for a tool | |
I can ride home in the evening | |
Staring at my hands | |
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl | |
Ought to stand a better chance | |
So may i work the mills just as long as i am able | |
And never meet the man whose name is on the label | |
It be me and my machine | |
For the rest of the morning | |
And the rest of the afternoon | |
Gone for the rest of my life |
