Song Structure:
A/D D G/D
Now my grandfather was a sailor, he blew in off the water
D A/D G/D D
My father was a farmer and I his only daughter
D A/D G/D D
Took up with a no good mill working man from Massachusetts
D A/D G/D D
Dies from too much whiskey and leaves me these three faces to feed
D A/D G/D D
Mill-work ain?t easy, Mill-work ain?t hard
D A/D G/D D
Mill-work, it ain?t nothing but an awful boring job
D A/D G/D D
I?m waiting on a day dream to get me through the morning
D A/D G/D D
And put me in my coffee break where I can have a sandwich and remember
C(add D) G6/B
Then it?s me and my machine for the rest of the morning
Gm/Bb
And the rest of the afternoon
A7sus4
And for the rest of my life
The second verse follows the same pattern as the first with a small bridge before the last chorus.
Bridge:
C(add D) G6/B
So may I work your mills just as long as I am able
Gm/Bb A7sus4
And never meet the man whose name is on the label
