Textile Factory - Emitt Rhodes[00:00:00]

I'd like to tell you 'about my home town[00:00:00]

But it's awfully hard to explain to a stranger[00:00:03]

It's been a year since I went down[00:00:07]

To the place that I was born and raised sir oh [00:00:09]

I gotta make it rich I'm getting tired[00:00:15]

Of digging ditches back on the farm[00:00:18]

I got a girl I wanna marry and[00:00:21]

I know that she loves me[00:00:23]

Yes I'm ready for work I got my shirt[00:00:26]

Sleeves rolled up around my arms[00:00:28]

I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory [00:00:31]

Well my papa was a poor man but[00:00:36]

Always did the best he could[00:00:38]

And he whipped my behind whenever I wasn't good[00:00:41]

There were six of us children in my family[00:00:47]

Mmm and not a single one of us has[00:00:51]

Ever learned how to read [00:00:54]

Well I'm really not complaining my parents[00:00:56]

Were the best you could have[00:00:59]

Well I love my mama and I really respected my dad [00:01:02]

Well let me tell you that every Sunday[00:01:07]

Morning we would dress in our Sunday clothes[00:01:09]

And we would listen to a sermon[00:01:13]

From the preacher about our good Lord[00:01:14]

Well the preacher said : 'Child be thankful for the food you eat'[00:01:18]

But my tastes are getting bigger I think I'll be traveling East [00:01:23]

You know I gotta make it rich [00:01:28]

I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm[00:01:29]

I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me[00:01:33]

Yes I'm ready for work [00:01:38]

I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms[00:01:40]

I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory [00:01:43]

Well now listen here brother if you think you've got it bad[00:01:48]

Mmm well what do you think about the life I've had  [00:01:53]

Well let me tell you my father said to[00:01:58]

Me : 'Son you know you've got to earn your keep'[00:02:01]

So I've been working from sun up to sun[00:02:04]

Down since I was thirteen[00:02:06]

Well my father said : 'Boy be thankful got a place to sleep'[00:02:09]

But I've been sleeping awful restless[00:02:15]

And I think I'll be moving East [00:02:16]

You know I gotta make it rich [00:02:19]

I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm[00:02:21]

I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me[00:02:24]

Yes I'm ready for work [00:02:29]

I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms[00:02:31]

I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory [00:02:35]

You know I gotta make it rich [00:02:39]

I'm getting tired of digging ditches back on the farm[00:02:41]

I got a girl I wanna marry and I know that she loves me[00:02:44]

Yes I'm ready for work [00:02:50]

I got my sleeves rolled up around my arms[00:02:51]

I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory [00:02:55]

You know I got a chance to make it rich in a textile factory[00:02:59]
