D A/D D G/D A/D

Now my grandfather was a sailor, he blew in off the water

D A/D G/D A/D

My father was a farmer and I, his only daughter,

D A/D G/D A/D

took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts

D A/D G/D A/D D

who dies from too much whiskey and leaves me these three faces to feed

A/D D G/D A/D

Mill-work ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard

D A/D G/D A/D

Mill-work, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job

D A/D G/D A/D

I'm waiting for a day dream to take me through the morning

D A/D G/D A/D D

and put me in my coffee break where I can have a sandwich and remember

C(addD G6/B

Then it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning

Gm/Bb A7sus4

for the rest of the afternoon

D C/DDC/D

and the rest of my life

C(addD G6/B

So may I work the mills just as long as I am able

Gm/Bb A7sus4 D

and never meet the man whose name is on the label

C(addD G6/B

It be me and my machine for the rest of the morning

Gm/Bb A7sus4

for the rest of the afternoon

D C/DDC/D

and the rest of my life
