Lyrics
Working in a weave room, fighting for my life
Trying to make a living for my kiddies and my wife
Some are needing clothing and some are needing shoes
But I'm getting nothing but them weave room blues
I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues
With your loom a-slamming, shuttles bouncing in the floor
And when you flag your fixer you can see that he is sore
I'm trying to make a living but I'm thinking I will lose
For I'm going crazy with them weave room blues
I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues
The harness eyes are breaking with the doubles coming through
The devil's in your alley and he's coming after you
Our hearts are aching, let us take a little booze
For we're going crazy with them weave room blues
I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues
Slam outs, break outs, knot ups by the score
Cloth all rolled back and piled up in the floor
The batcher's running empty, strings are hanging to your shoes
I'm simply dying with them weave room blues
I've got the blues, I've got the blues
I've got them awful weave room blues
I've got the blues, the weave room blues
