C My grandfather was a G sailor he F blew in off the G water
C My father was a G farmer and F I his only d G aughter
C took up with a G no-good millworking F man from Massachus G etts
W C ho dies from too much G whiskey and F leaves me these three G faces to C feed
C Now Mill-work ain't G easy F mill-work ain't G hard
C Mill-work it ain't G nothing but an F awful boring G job
I'm C waiting for a G day dream to F take me through the G morning
And C put me in my G coffee break where F I can have a G sandwich and C remember
And it's Bb me and my machine for the F rest of the morning
For the Fm rest of the after Gsus noon
G For the rest of my C life Eb Bb C
C Now my mind begins to G wander to the d F ays back on the f G arm
C I can see my father G smiling at me F swingin' on his G arm
I can hear my grand-dad's G stories of the s F torms out on Lake E G rie
C Where vessels and G cargos and F fortunes and G sailor's lives were C lost
SOLO Eb
C But it's my life has been G wasted, and F I have been the G fool
C To let this manuf G acture use my F body for a G tool
I can ride home in the G evening F staring at my G hands
C Wearing by my G sorrow that a young F girl ought to st G and a better ch C ance
So Bb may I work the mills just as F long as I am able
Aand Fm never meet the man Gsus whose name is on the C label
And it's Bb me and my machine for the F rest of the morning
For the Fm rest of the after Gsus noon
G Fnd the rest of my C life
