Cotton Mill Girls

[Verse 1]
Well, I worked in the cotton mill all of my life
All I got to show is my Barlow knife
And it's a-hard times, cotton mill girls
Hard times for cotton mill girls

[Chorus]
Yes, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Yes, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Oh well, it's (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Hard times for cotton mill girls

[Verse 2]
When I die don't bury me at all
Lay my body in the spinnin' room hall
Pickle my bones in alcohol
And it's hard times, cotton mill girls

[Chorus]
Yes, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Yes, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Oh well, it's (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
(Hard times for cotton mill girls)

[Banjo Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, cotton mill girls can't laugh and dance
Cotton mill girls they'd had no chance
They're tied to the spinnin' loom
Workin' there in a half-dark room

[Chorus]
It's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Yeah, hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Oh well, it's hard (Hard timеs, cotton mill girls)
(Hard times for cotton mill girls)

[Verse 1]
(Oh well, I worked in thе cotton mill all of my life
And all I got to show is a Barlow knife)
And it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Yes, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Oh well, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
(A hard time for cotton mill girls)

[Outro]
Oh well, it's (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Yes, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
Oh well, it's hard (Hard times, cotton mill girls)
(A hard time for cotton mill girls)
(Hard times, cotton mill girls)
(Hard times, cotton mill girls)
(Hard time for cotton mill girls)

Yeah!
