[00:00:00] Factory Girl (工厂女孩) - Kronos Quartet (古典先锋四重奏)/Natalie Merchant (娜坦莉·莫森特)

[00:00:00] Written by：Rhiannon Giddens/Traditional

[00:00:43] As I went a walkin' on a fine summer's mornin'

[00:00:51] The birds on the bushes did whistle and sing

[00:00:57] The lads and the lasses in couples were sportin'

[00:01:03] Then back to the factory their work to begin

[00:01:13] I spy one among them she was fairer than any

[00:01:20] Her cheeks like the roses

[00:01:24] That bloom in the spring

[00:01:28] Her skin like the lily that blooms in your valley

[00:01:35] She was only a hard workin' factory girl

[00:02:25] I stepped up to her more closely to view her

[00:02:32] When on me she cast a look of destain

[00:02:37] Saying young man stand off me and do not come near me

[00:02:47] I work for my living and think it no shame

[00:02:57] The next morning I was there ready and waiting

[00:03:04] And begged her to talk to me just for a spell

[00:03:10] And each morning after she lingered still longer

[00:03:19] And then hurried away at the sound of the bell

[00:04:34] Then came the morning when silence did greet me

[00:04:41] The birds on the bushes were stricken and still

[00:04:48] So I stepped on the path where she often did meet me

[00:04:55] And I walked to the factory up on the hill

[00:05:05] The crowd gathered round

[00:05:08] Couldn't hide the destruction

[00:05:12] I cast my eyes on it in such disbelief

[00:05:19] A truth of the world settled into the ashes

[00:05:27] The rich men's neglect is the poor man's grief

[00:05:39] As I stood there a whisper it did caress me

[00:05:47] A faint scent of roses my senses begun

[00:05:56] I lifted my face and I saw that above me

[00:06:07] A thousand young butterflies darkened the sun
