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
