[00:00:00] The Handweaver And The Factory Maid - Meridian

[00:00:04] I am a hand weaver to my trade

[00:00:08] I fell in love with a factory maid

[00:00:12] And if I could brought her favour gain

[00:00:16] I'd sit beside her and weave by steam

[00:00:22] My father to me scornful said

[00:00:26] How could you fancy a factory maid

[00:00:29] When you could have girls both fine and gay

[00:00:33] All dressed like unto the Queen of May

[00:00:39] As for your fine girls I don't care

[00:00:43] If I could but enjoy my dear

[00:00:47] I'd sit in the factory all the day

[00:00:51] And she and

[00:00:52] I'd be our shuttles in play

[00:01:10] I went to my love's bedroom door

[00:01:14] Where I had oft times been before

[00:01:18] But I could not speak nor yet get in

[00:01:22] The pleasant bed where my love lay in

[00:01:25] How can you call it a pleasant bed

[00:01:29] When naught lies there but a factory maid

[00:01:33] A factory maid although she be

[00:01:37] Blessed be the man who enjoys she

[00:01:43] Pleasant thoughts ran though my mind

[00:01:47] When I turned down her sheets so fine

[00:01:51] And see her two breasts standing so

[00:01:55] Like two white hills all covered in snow

[00:02:00] Where are the girls

[00:02:02] I'll tell you plain

[00:02:04] The girls have all gone to weave by steam

[00:02:08] And if you find them

[00:02:10] You must rise at dawn

[00:02:12] And trudge to the mill in the early morn

[00:02:53] I am a hand weaver to my trade

[00:02:57] I fell in love with a factory maid

[00:03:00] And if I could but her favour gain

[00:03:04] I'd sit beside her and weave by steam
