Dougie Maclean - Jute Mill Song lyrics

Oh dear me the mill's gang fast And the puir wee shifters canna get a rest Shifting bobbins coorse and fine They fairly mak' ye work for your ten and nine Oh dear me i wish the day was done Running up and doon the pa** is nae fun Shifting piecing spinning warp weft and twine Tae feed and cled my bairnie affen ten and nine Oh dear me this warld is ill divided Them that work the hardest are the least provided I maun bide contented dark days or fine There's no' much pleasure living affen ten and nine
