(James Taylor)



Now my grandfather was a sailor, 

He blew in off the water 

My father was a farmer 

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 



Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard 

Millwork, 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
