CAPO: 4th Fret
[INTRO:]    C    F    C   Cadd9   C      F      C    F  C  
[VERSE 1:]
Oh, dear me, the mill is running fast
      F~    ~              C        F  C  
And we poor shifters cannae get no rest
Shifting bobFbins, Ccoarse and Ffine
They Cfairly make you work for your Ften and Cnine
[VERSE 2:]
Oh, dear me, I wish the day was done
           F~              C            F  C  
For running up and doon the pass is no fun
                           F       C~    ~   F  
Shifting piece and spinning warp, weft and twine
There's Cno much pleasure Fliving off ten and Cnine
[VERSE 3:]
Oh, dear me, the world is ill-divided
         F~                C                  F  C  
Them that works the hardest are the least provided
                 F    C~                C  F  
But I must lie contented, dark days or fine
To Cfeed and clothe my babies Foff of ten and Cnine
[VERSE 4:]
Oh, dear me, the mill is running fast
      F~    ~              C        F  C  
And we poor shifters cannae get no rest
Shifting bobFbins, Ccoarse and Ffine
They Cfairly make you work for your Ften and Cnine
