carolyn hester - jute mill song (at town hall version) lyrics
[intro]
there’s a lot of people who talk about
uh, that protesting is done by the youth
and it’s just excess energy and all that, uh
the most quiet way to reply
is to sing a song like this next one
which is a protest song of a hundred years ago
i think that’s a good answer
this concerns the jute mill workers in dundee, scotland
[verse 1]
oh dear me, i wish the day was done
runnin’ up and down the paths is nae fun
piecin’, spinnin’, twinin’, warp, weft and twine
they fairly make you work for your ten and nine
[verse 2]
oh dear me, the world is ill divided
thеm that works the hardest are thе least provided
but i must bide contented, co+rs+ days are fine
to feed and cled my bairnie affen ten and nine
[outro]
but i must bide contented, co+rs+ days are fine
to feed and cled my bairnie affen ten and nine
