Now my grandfather was a sailor, he blew in off the water
My father was a farmer and I, his only daughter,
took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
 who dies from too much whiskey and leaves me these three faces to feed
    
Mill-work ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard
Mill-work, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
 I'm waiting for a day dream to take me through the morning
 and put me in my coffee break where I can have a sandwich and remember
    
 Then it's me and my machine for the rest of the morning
 for the rest of the afternoon     
 and the rest of my life
    
Now my mind begins to wander to the days back on the farm
 I can see my father smiling at me, swingin' on his arm
 I can hear my grand-dad's stories of the storms out on Lake Erie
 where vessels and cargos and fortunes and sailor's lives were lost
Yes, but it's my life has been wasted, and I have been the fool
 to let this manufacture use my body for a tool
 I can ride home in the evening, staring at my hands
 swearing by my sorrow that a young girl ought to stand a better chance
    
 So may I work the mills just as long as I am able
 and never meet the man whose name is on the label    
 It be me and my machine for the rest of the morning
 for the rest of the afternoon     
 and the rest of my life
