《Millworker》歌词

[00:00:00] Millworker - Emmylou Harris

[00:00:00] Written by：Brian Ahern

[00:00:00] My grandfather was a sailor

[00:00:04] Blewing off the water

[00:00:07] My father was a farmer

[00:00:11] And I his only daughter

[00:00:14] Took up with a no good millworking man from Massachusetts

[00:00:21] Who dies from too much whiskey

[00:00:24] And leaves me these three faces to feed

[00:00:31] Now millwork ain't easy

[00:00:35] Mill work ain't hard

[00:00:38] Millwork it ain't nothing but an awful boring job

[00:00:45] Waiting for a day dream

[00:00:49] To take me through the morning

[00:00:52] And put me in my coffee break

[00:00:56] Where I can have a sandwich and review

[00:01:02] And it's me and my machine

[00:01:05] For the rest of the morning

[00:01:09] For the rest of the afternoon

[00:01:14] For the rest of my life

[00:01:25] Now my mind begins to wonder

[00:01:28] To the days back on the farm

[00:01:32] I can see my father smiling at me

[00:01:36] Swingin' on his arm

[00:01:39] I can hear my grand dad's stories

[00:01:42] Of the storms out on lake Erie

[00:01:46] Where vessels and cargos and fortunes

[00:01:51] And sailor's lives were lost

[00:02:24] But it's my life has been wasted

[00:02:28] And I have been the fool

[00:02:31] To let this manufacture use my body for a tool

[00:02:38] I can ride home in the evening

[00:02:41] Staring at my hands

[00:02:45] And swearing by my sorrow that a young girl

[00:02:50] Ought to stand a better chance

[00:02:56] So may I work the mills

[00:02:59] Just as long as I am able

[00:03:03] And never meet the man

[00:03:06] Whose name is on the label

[00:03:11] And it's me and my machine

[00:03:15] For the rest of the morning

[00:03:19] For the rest of the afternoon

[00:03:24] For the rest of my life
