Hard Times in the Mill - Pete Seeger
You hear the cooks hop on the floor
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
Every mornin' just at five
Gotta get up dead or alive
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
Every mornin' right at six
Don't that old bell make you sick
Hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
The pulley got hot the belt jumped off
Knocked Mr Guyan's derby off
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
And ol' Pat Goble thinks he's a Hun
He puts me in mind of a doodle in the sun
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
Section hand he thinks he's a man
He ain't got sense to pay off his hands
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
They steal his ring they steal his knife
Steal everything but his big fat wife
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
My bobbin's all out my end's all down
The doffer's in my alley an' I can't get around
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
The section hand standin' at the door
Ordering the sweepers to sweep up the floor
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
And every night when I go home
A piece of cornbread and an old jawbone
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
Ain't it enough to break your heart
Have to work all day and at night it's dark
It's hard times in the mill my love
Hard times in the mill
Hard Times In the Mill - Pete Seeger
