| 作词 : Taylor | |
| Now my grandfather was a sailor | |
| He blew in off the water | |
| My father was a farmer | |
| And i, his only daughter | |
| Took up with a no good millworking man | |
| From massachusetts | |
| Who dies from too much whiskey | |
| And leaves me these three faces to feed | |
| Millwork ain't easy | |
| Millwork ain't hard | |
| Millwork it ain't nothing | |
| But an awful boring job | |
| I'm waiting for a daydream | |
| To take me through the morning | |
| And put me in my coffee break | |
| Where i can have a sandwich | |
| And remember | |
| Then it's me and my machine | |
| For the rest of the morning | |
| For the rest of the afternoon | |
| And the rest of my life | |
| Now my mind begins to wander | |
| To the days back on the farm | |
| I can see my father smiling at me | |
| Swinging on his arm | |
| I can hear my granddad's stories | |
| Of the storms out on lake eerie | |
| Where vessels and cargos and fortunes | |
| And sailors' lives were lost | |
| Yes, but it's my life has been wasted | |
| And i have been the fool | |
| To let this manufacturer | |
| Use my body for a tool | |
| I can ride home in the evening | |
| Staring at my hands | |
| Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl | |
| Ought to stand a better chance | |
| So may i work the mills just as long as i am able | |
| And never meet the man whose name is on the label | |
| It be me and my machine | |
| For the rest of the morning | |
| And the rest of the afternoon | |
| Gone for the rest of my life |
