lirik lagu jack hardy - uley mill song
[verse 1]
i left ireland long ago
to work the mills in the cotswolds
so nelson’s tars and wellington’s guards
could fight the tyrant bonaparte
[verse 2]
and every day i walked to work
down past the pub and the norman church
i saw the light up in your room
and through the day i thought of you
[verse 3]
for fourteen hours we toiled in gloom
the water powered the broadcloth looms
we dyed our wool a deep woad blue
far deeper still the eyes of you
[verse 4]
one market day you caught my eye
and for a moment even smiled
but for that moment i scrimped and saved
and dreamed how we would fly away
[verse 5]
but now they’re all for steam and coal
the millwork’s moving to the north
they cut our wages to the bone
and with my brogue i was the first let go
[verse 6]
i walked down the owlpen road
past manor houses locked and sold
stopped by the old crown for one last pint
had not the heart to say goodbye
[verse 1]
i left ireland long ago
to work the mills in the cotswolds
so nelson’s tars and wellington’s guards
could fight the tyrant bonaparte
