Millworker

Words and Music by James Taylor

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

D Csus2 G6/B A7Sus4

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

Gm/Bb A7Sus4

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

Gm/Bb A7Sus4 D

and never meet the man whose name is on the label

It be me and my machine for the rest of the morning

Gm/Bb A7Sus4

for the rest of the afternoon

and the rest of my life
