Mill Boys |
Sky was black, Lord, rain came pouring down |
Number 12 bus shuffling down Shaw Road way |
Mules keep spinning, black-faced lifers peck the ground |
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey |
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys |
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day |
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys |
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day |
Cotton mill will get you, boy, she’ll take you to your grave |
Tell you boy to use your head, apprentice out your days |
You’ll end up a nothing, buy, with cotton as your trade |
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey |
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys |
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day |
We are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys |
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day |
It’s easy to see a poor boy’s blues |
When he’s working every day |
It’s harder to be there in his shoes |
He was born to be that way |
