Now my grandfather was a sailor [00:00:00]

He blew in off the water[00:00:04]

My father was a farmer[00:00:07]

I his only daughter [00:00:11]

Took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts[00:00:14]

Who dies from too much whiskey[00:00:21]

And leaves me these three faces to feed[00:00:24]

Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard[00:00:31]

Millwork it ain't nothing but an awful boring job[00:00:39]

I'm waiting for a day dream[00:00:46]

To take me through the morning[00:00:49]

And put me in my coffee break[00:00:52]

Where I can have a sandwich and remember[00:00:56]

Then it's me and my machine[00:01:02]

For the rest of the morning[00:01:06]

For the rest of the afternoon[00:01:10]

And the rest of my life[00:01:15]

Now my mind begins to wander[00:01:25]

To the days back on the farm[00:01:29]

I can see my father smiling at me [00:01:32]

Swingin' on his arm[00:01:36]

I can hear my grand-dad's stories[00:01:39]

Of the storms out on Lake Erie[00:01:42]

Where vessels and cargos and fortunes[00:01:46]

And sailor's lives were lost[00:01:52]

Yes but it's my life has been wasted [00:02:24]

And I have been the fool[00:02:28]

To let this manufacture use my body for a tool [00:02:31]

I can ride home in the evening [00:02:38]

Staring at my hands[00:02:42]

Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl[00:02:45]

Ought to stand a better chance[00:02:51]

So may I work the mills[00:02:56]

Just as long as I am able[00:02:59]

And never meet the man whose[00:03:03]

Name is on the label[00:03:07]

It be me and my machine[00:03:11]

For the rest of the morning[00:03:15]

For the rest of the afternoon[00:03:19]

For the rest of my life[00:03:24]
