[00:00.00]Millworker - Bette Midler (贝蒂·米德勒)
[00:22.08]Now my grandfather was a sailor
[00:25.27]
[00:25.89]He blew in off the water
[00:29.57]My father was a farmer
[00:33.19]And I his only daughter
[00:37.00]Took up with a no good
[00:40.12]Millworking man from Massachusetts
[00:44.24]Who died from too much whiskey
[00:48.11]And leaves me these three faces to feed
[00:53.71]
[00:59.32]Millwork ain't easy millwork ain't hard
[01:06.69]Millwork it ain't nothin'
[01:09.68]But an awful boring job
[01:13.74]I'm waiting for a daydream
[01:17.29]To take me through the mornin';
[01:20.35]
[01:21.23]Put me in my coffee break
[01:24.59]Where I can have a sandwhich and remember
[01:30.90]
[01:31.64]And it's me and my machine
[01:35.51]For the rest of the mornin'
[01:39.45]For the rest of the afternoon
[01:43.69]
[01:45.00]For the rest of my life
[01:48.49]
[01:55.36]Now my mind begins to wander
[01:58.85]To the days back on the farm
[02:02.22]
[02:02.78]I can see my father smilin'
[02:06.03]And me swingin' on his arm
[02:10.08]I can hear my granddad's stories
[02:13.71]Of the storms out on Lake Erie
[02:18.01]Where vessels and cargos
[02:21.32]And fortunes and sailor's lives were lost
[02:26.25]
[02:31.99]Yeah but it's my life that's been wasted
[02:36.42]And I have been the fool
[02:39.54]
[02:40.16]To let this manufacture
[02:43.10]Use my body for a tool
[02:47.15]As I ride home in the evenin'
[02:51.08]I'm staring at my hands
[02:54.02]
[02:54.82]Swearin' by my sorrow
[02:58.38]That a young girl ought to stand a better chance
[03:02.75]
[03:05.56]Oh but may I work the mills
[03:09.06]Just as long as I'm able
[03:13.48]And never meet the man
[03:16.73]Who's name is on the label
[03:21.54]
[03:22.16]Whoa it's me and my machine
[03:27.28]For the rest of the mornin'
[03:30.02]For the rest of the afternoon
[03:33.45]
[03:35.88]For the rest of my life
