Mill Mother's Lament

American Industrial Ballads

歌词

We leave our homes in the morning

We kiss our children goodbye

While we slave for the bosses

Our children scream and cry

And when we draw our money

Our grocery bills to pay

Not a cent to spend for clothing

Not a cent to lay away

And on that very evening

Our little son will say

I need some shoes mother

And so does sister May

How it grieves the heart of a mother

You everyone must know

But we can't buy for our children

Our wages are too low

It is for our little children

That seem to us so dear

But for us nor them dear workers

The bosses do not care

But understand all workers

Our union they do fear

Let's stand together

And have a union here
