The Jute-Mill Song |
| Oh, dear me, the mill runs fast |
| The poor wee shifters cannae get their rest |
| Shifting bobbins course and fine |
| They fairly make you work for your ten and nine |
| Oh, dear me, I wish the day was done |
| Running up and down the pass is no fun |
| Shifting, piecing, spinning warp, weft and twine |
| To feed and clothe your bairnes off a ten and nine |
| Oh, dear me, the mill runs fast |
| The poor wee shifters cannae get their rest |
| Shifting bobbins course and fine |
| They fairly make you work for your ten and nine |
| Oh, dear me, the world is ill divided |
| Them that works the hardest are the least provided |
| But I’m maun bide contented dark days are fine |
| There’s no much pleasure living off a ten and nine |
| Oh, dear me, the mill runs fast |
| The poor wee shifters cannae get their rest |
| Shifting bobbins course and fine |
| They fairly make you work for your ten and nine |
