Millworker - James Taylor[00:00:11]

Now my grandfather was a sailor [00:00:15]

He blew in off the water [00:00:18]

My father was a farmer and I [00:00:22]

His only daughter [00:00:26]

Took up with a no good millworking man[00:00:28]

From Massachusetts[00:00:32]

Who dies from too much whiskey[00:00:35]

And leaves me these three faces to feed [00:00:38]

Millwork ain't easy millwork ain't hard [00:00:49]

Millwork it ain't nothing[00:00:56]

But an awful boring job [00:00:58]

I'm waiting for a daydream[00:01:02]

To take me through the morning[00:01:06]

And put me in my coffee break[00:01:09]

Where I can have a sandwich and remember [00:01:12]

Then it's me and my machine[00:01:19]

For the rest of the morning [00:01:22]

For the rest of the afternoon[00:01:26]

And the rest of my life [00:01:32]

Now my mind begins to wander[00:01:49]

To the days back on the farm [00:01:53]

I can see my father smiling at me [00:01:56]

Swinging on his arm [00:02:00]

I can hear my granddad's stories[00:02:03]

Of the storms out on Lake Erie[00:02:07]

Where vessels and cargoes and fortunes[00:02:10]

And sailors' lives were lost [00:02:15]

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

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

To let this manufacturer[00:02:32]

Use my body for a tool [00:02:34]

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

Staring at my hands [00:02:42]

Swearing by my sorrow[00:02:46]

That a young girl ought[00:02:48]

To stand a better chance [00:02:50]

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

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

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

Whose name is on the label [00:03:06]

It be me and my machine[00:03:10]

For the rest of the morning[00:03:13]

And the rest of the afternoon [00:03:17]

Gone for the rest of my life[00:03:21]
