[00:00.00]Cotton Mill Colic - Pete Seeger
[00:05.57]When you go to work well you work like the devil
[00:07.60]At the end of the week you're not on the level
[00:09.92]Payday comes you ain't got a penny
[00:12.21]'Cause when you pay your bills you got so many
[00:14.41]I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will
[00:16.58]'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill
[00:33.38]When you buy clothes on easy terms
[00:35.51]Collector treats you like a measly worm
[00:38.04]One dollar down and the Lord knows
[00:40.16]If you can't make a payment
[00:41.39]They take your clothes
[00:42.69]I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will
[00:44.75]'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill
[00:52.06]Payday comes you pay your rent
[00:53.87]End of the week you ain't got a cent
[00:56.24]To buy fat-backed meat pinto beans
[00:58.49]Cook up a mess o' turnip greens
[01:00.93]I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will
[01:03.05]'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill
[01:16.51]Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
[01:18.24]Let the rich man live and the poor man bust
[01:20.68]We'll never make it we never will
[01:23.23]As long as we work in a rounding mill
[01:26.16]I'm a-gonna starve and everybody will
[01:28.45]'Cause you can't make a livin' in a cotton mill
