[02:21.00]Working in a weave-room, fighting for my life
[02:21.00]Trying to make a living for my kiddies and my wife;
[02:21.00]Some are needing clothing, some are needing shoes,
[02:21.00]But I'm getting nothing but the weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]I've got the blues, I've got the blues,
[02:21.00]I've got them awful weave-room blues;
[02:21.00]I got the blues, the weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]With your looms a-slamming, shuttles bouncing in the floor,
[02:21.00]And when you flag your fixer, you can see that he is sore;
[02:21.00]I’m trying to make a living, but I'm thinking I will lose,
[02:21.00]For I'm going crazy with them weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]I've got the blues, I've got the blues,
[02:21.00]I've got them awful weave-room blues;
[02:21.00]I got the blues, the weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]The harness eyes are breaking with the doubles coming through,
[02:21.00]The devil's in your alley and he's coming after you,
[02:21.00]Our hearts are aching, let us take a little booze;
[02:21.00]For we're going crazy with them weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]I've got the blues, got the blues,
[02:21.00]I've got them awful weave-room blues;
[02:21.00]I got the blues, the weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]Slam-outs, break-outs, knot-ups by the score,
[02:21.00]Cloth all rolled back and piled up in the floor;
[02:21.00]The patchers running in between they’re hanging to your shoes,
[02:21.00]I’m simply dying with them weave-room blues.
[02:21.00]I've got the blues, got the blues,
[02:21.00]I've got them awful weave-room blues;
[02:21.00]I got the blues, the weave-room blues.
