Ray Smith - The Weaver

Текст с Bandcamp’a: “I would be a weaver still If Tories had’nae shut the mill I’d slake my thirst my belly fill If I was still a weaver The Bailiff’s banging at the door I have no cash to meet the score I’d tak the bills and pay them o’er If I was still a weaver (Chorus) Four looms, four watch your shuttle Four looms Watch your end I was just a little girl When Mother sent me to the mill She needed help to pay the bills and I became a weaver I tried to learn my duties well The yards I wove I cannot tell “Watch me loom for a Penny Nell” I was the fastest weaver ch The work was hard the hours long The shuttles sang their daily song And then our payday came along When I was still a weaver The engineer was sweet on me He tended my looms constantly I never thought we’d married be When I was just a weaver ch My husband’s gone my children grown And some this world has overthrown But what remains is all my own Inside I’m still a weaver They say the looms will drive you deaf And I have little hearing left And yet I’d give my final breath To go back as a weaver ch from Trout and Toolbox, released November 12, 2016 Ray Smith - Vocals, Acoustic Guitar Kerryn Schofield - Cornet Emma Woolcock - Violin“
