The Factory |
| I can’t say that he loved his work |
| But he fed a family of nine |
| Papa never heard of a union |
| He logged his scale in time |
| But he was a lucky man |
| At least he had a job |
| Down at the factory |
| 40 years cut across his back |
| Fightin' it tooth and nail |
| Work was hard enough to make a man |
| Forget his fear of Hell |
| He was a thankful man |
| He had a job |
| Down at the factory |
| Sometimes through the walls at night |
| I’d hear him on his knees |
| Prayin', «Lord, please help me through another day |
| Give me strength |
| And bless this house |
| This family of mine |
| And thank you, Lord |
| For my job |
| Down at the factory» |
| It’s hard for a man to build a life |
| On a miller’s pay |
| But like father just like son |
| At least I could pay my way |
| I’m a lucky man |
| I’ve got a job |
| Down at the factory |
| As I put my kids to bed |
| Wonder what’s in store |
| Ask the Lord for a better way |
| 'Cause they deserve much more |
| Than to raise their own |
| With just a job |
| Down at the factory |
| Sometimes when it’s late at night |
| I get down on my knees |
| Prayin, «Lord, please help me through another day |
| And give me strength |
| And bless this house |
| This family of mine |
| And, thank you, Lord |
| For my job |
| Down at the factory» |
| We got more than some |
| At least I got a job |
| Down at the factory |
