_ _ _ _ _ Well, my grandfather was a _ sailor, _ blewin' off the water.
_ _ My father was a farmer, and [G] I his [D] only _ daughter.
_ Took up with a no good mill workin' [G] man from [D] _ Massachusetts.
_ _ Dies from too much whiskey and [G] leaves me
these [D] three faces to feed.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] The mill work ain't _ easy, _ the mill work ain't hard.
_ The work, it ain't nothin' but an awful boring _ job. _ _
Waitin' on a daydream _ [G] to take me through [D] the morning.
_ Set me in my coffee break where I can have a sandwich.
And remember, _ _ _ then it's [C] me and my machine
for [G] the rest of the morning, _ [Bb] and the rest of [Gm] the afternoon,
_ _ [D] _
_ and the [A] rest of [D] my life. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now _ _ _ _ _ my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm.
I can see my father _ smiling at [Bm] me, swinging on [A] his arm.
I [D] hear my granddad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie.
_ _ _ Vessels and _ cargoes and [G] _ fortunes and [D] sailors' lives were lost. _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [G] _ _
_ [D] _ _ [Am] Yeah, but [D] it's my life has been wasted,
_ _ because I have [G] been [D] the fool.
_ Let this _ manufacturer use my body for a tool. _ _ _
Right home in the evening, _ [G] staring at [D] my _ hand, _ _
swearing to my sorrow that [G] a young girl ought
[D] to stand a better _ chance.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] So may I work your mills just [G] as long as I am able,
and [Gm]
never meet the man _ [D] whose name is on the label.
_ _ [C] Still me and my machine for [G]
the rest of the morning,
_ _ [Bb]
and the [Gm] rest of the afternoon, solid [Am] _
gold [D] for the rest of my _ life. _ _ _ _ _

How about that?
How about that?
Yeah, like I was saying, I almost brought that guitar with me.
I would have played it today on your show,
except [E] it's too expensive to try to travel with.
You've got that guitar.
[N] Yeah, I've got that guitar now.
It's yours now.
This is very hard for me to skip from this part,
as the intro in the program, to your favorite list.
I mentioned the 10 songs already.
