[Chorus]
GI'll neither spin nor weave Con a Sunday Gmornin',
EmI'll go out walkin' Cin the mornin' Ddew.
GWhen the sun is risin' you will Cfind me in the Gheather,
EmWalkin' on a Dhillside like CI Dused to Gdo.
[Verse 1]
G5 o'clock the wheels are spinnin',
CFlaxin' cotton, weavin' linen.
GAll that metal makes a dinnin', CI'll be glad to Gleave it.
G"Fair thee well", the girls may weather,
CWhen they're keepin' time together,
GAnd they sing to one another Cspinnin' and a Gweavin'.
[Chorus]
GI'll neither spin nor weave Con a Sunday Gmornin',
EmI'll go out walkin' Cin the mornin' Ddew.
GWhen the sun is risin' you will Cfind me in the Gheather,
EmWalkin' on a Dhillside like CI Dused to Gdo.
[Verse 2]
GWorkin' at these new machines
CA way to earn a meager means.
GHelps to put your bread and beans and Cbutter on the Gtable.
GWork the week out as you will,
CSpinnin' cotton in the mill,
GFightin' at the loom unitl they Csay the work is Gover.
[Chorus]
GI'll neither spin nor weave Con a Sunday Gmornin',
EmI'll go out walkin' Cin the mornin' Ddew.
GWhen the sun is risin' you will Cfind me in the Gheather,
EmWalkin' on a Dhillside like CI Dused to Gdo.
[Verse 3]
GA weaver's wage it is hard won,
CMonday, Tuesday, factories run,
GWednesday, Thursday, work's not done and CFriday is no Gbetter.
GTreadles shift as days pass by,
CBobbins spin and shuttles fly,
GSaturday, the end is nigh for CSunday's 'round the Gcorner.
[Chorus]
GI'll neither spin nor weave Con a Sunday Gmornin',
EmI'll go out walkin' Cin the mornin' Ddew.
GWhen the sun is risin' you will Cfind me in the Gheather,
EmWalkin' on a Dhillside like CI Dused to Gdo.
[Repeat Chorus to Close]
GI'll neither spin nor weave Con a Sunday Gmornin',
EmI'll go out walkin' Cin the mornin' Ddew.
GWhen the sun is risin' you will Cfind me in the Gheather,
EmWalkin' on a Dhillside like CI Dused to Gdo.
