作词 : Traditional | |
(Chorus:) | |
I'm a four loom weaver as many a man knows | |
I've nowt to eat and I've worn out my clothes | |
My clogs are both broken and stockings I've none | |
You’d hardly give me tuppence for all I've got on | |
Old Billy at Bent he kept telling me long | |
We might have better times if I'd but held my tongue | |
I holded my tongue till I near lost my breath | |
And I feel in my heart that I'II soon starve to death | |
(Chorus) | |
We held out for six weeks thought each day was the last | |
We tarried and shifted till now we’re quite fast | |
We lived upon nettles when nettles were good | |
And Waterloo Porridge was best of our food | |
(Chorus) | |
Our Margaret declares if she'd clothes to put on | |
She'd go up to London and see the great man | |
And if things didn't alter when there she had been | |
She swears she’ll fight with blood up to thine. | |
(Chorus) | |
I'm a four loom weaver as many a man knows. | |
I've nowt to eat and I've worn out my clothes | |
Stockings I’ve none and no looms to weave on | |
|: I’ve woven myself to the far end :| |
