(Ewan McVicar)
Chorus:
Shift and spin, warp and twine
Makin' thread coorse an' fine
Dreamin' o' your Valentine
Workin' in the mill
Keep your bobbins free and easy
Just be gallus, bright and breezy
Hopin' that Prince Charming sees ye
Workin' in the mill
Oil your runners, mend your thread
Do your best tae earn your bread
Wish ye were a wife instead
O' workin' in the mill
Used tae dream you were all the rage
Smiling from the fashion page
Never thought you'd be a wage slave
Workin' in the mill
Used to think that life is kind
No it's not but never mind
Maybe some day love will find ye
Workin' in the mill
He loves you not - so what?
Do the best with what you've got
Earn your pay and spin your cotton
Workin' in the mill
(as sung by Danny Kyle)
