Hard Times in the Mill |
| Every mornin' at half-past four |
| You hear the cooks hop on the floor |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| Every morning just at five |
| Gotta get up, dead or alive |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| Every mornin' right at six |
| Don’t that ol' bell make you sick |
| Hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| The pulley got hot, the belt jumped off |
| Knocked Mr Guyan’s derby off |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| And ol' Pat Goble thinks he’s a Hun |
| He puts me in mind of a doodle in the sun |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| Section hand he thinks he’s a man |
| He ain’t got sense to pay off his hands |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| They steal his ring, they steal his knife |
| Steal everything but his big fat wife |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| My bobbin’s all out, my end’s all down |
| The doffer’s in my alley an' I can’t get around |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| The section hand, standin' at the door |
| Ordering the sweepers to sweep up the floor |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| An' every night when I go home |
| A piece o' cornbread an' an ol' jawbone |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
| Ain’t it enough to break your heart |
| Have to work all day, an' at night it’s dark |
| It’s hard times in the mill my love |
| Hard times in the mill |
