Letra

Granddad was a sailor
And he blew in off the water
My father was a farmer
And I his only daughter
I took up with an no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
Who died from too much whiskey
And leaves me these three faces to feed
Millwork ain't easy
Millwork ain't hard
Millwork most often is a goddamn awful boring job
And I'm waiting for a daydream
To take me through the morning
And put me in my coffee break
Where I can have my sandwich and remember
And it's me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon
And the rest of my life
My mind begins to wander
To the days back on the farm
And I can see my father smiling at me
Swinging on his arm
And I can hear my granddad's stories
Of the storms on old Mercury
Vessels and cargos
Fortunes and sailors lives were lost
It's my life has been wasted
And I have been a fool
To let this manufacturer use my body for a tool
I get to ride home in the evening
Staring at my hands
Swearing by my sorrow
That a young girl ought to stand a better chance
And may I work this mill
Just as long as I am able
And never meet the man
Whose name is on the label
It's me and my machine
For the rest of the morning
For the rest of the afternoon, gone
And the rest of my life
