Well I lived in a town[00:00:00]
Way down south[00:00:05]
By the name of owensboro[00:00:09]
And I worked in a mill[00:00:17]
With the rest of the "rash"[00:00:21]
As we're often called[00:00:24]
As you know[00:00:29]
Well we rise up early[00:00:32]
In the morning[00:00:37]
And we work all day real hard[00:00:41]
To buy our little meat and bread[00:00:48]
Buy sugar tea and lard[00:00:56]
Well our children grow[00:01:36]
Grow up unlearned[00:01:39]
With no time to go to school[00:01:44]
Almost before they learn to walk[00:01:51]
They learn to spin[00:01:59]
And to spoon[00:02:03]
Well the folks in town[00:02:38]
They dress so fine[00:02:42]
And spend their money free[00:02:46]
But they would hardly look[00:02:53]
At a factory hand[00:02:57]
Who dresses like you or me[00:03:01]
Would you let them wear[00:03:09]
Their watches fine[00:03:12]
Let them wear their gems[00:03:16]
And pearly strings[00:03:21]
But when that day of judgement comes[00:03:24]
They'll have to share[00:03:32]
Their pretty things[00:03:36]
But when that day[00:03:40]
Of judgement comes[00:03:43]
They'll have to share[00:03:47]
Their pretty things[00:03:51]
