GÜNÜN ŞARKISI: Cotton Mill Girl
Pamuk fabrikasında 14 saat çalıştırılan çocuk işçilerin hikayesi ‘Cotton Mill Girl’. Altında ezildikleri, mahkum edildikleri yoksulluğu, çaresizliği onların dilinden anlatan bir şarkı…

I worked in a cotton mill all of my life

Ain’t got nothing but this Barlow knife

It’s hard times Cotton Mill Girls, It’s hard times everywhere

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls,

Hard times, Cotton Mill Girls

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls, hard times everywhere

In 1915 we heard it said

Move to the country and get ahead

It's hard times Cotton Mill Girls, It’s hard times everywhere

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls,

Hard times, Cotton Mill Girls

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls, hard times everywhere

Us kids worked 14 hours a day

For 13 cents of measly pay

It’s hard times Cotton Mill Girls, It’s hard times everywhere

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls,

Hard times, Cotton Mill Girls

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls, hard times everywhere

When I die don’t buy me at all

Just hang me up on the spinning room wall

Pickle my bones in alcohol, it’s hard times everywhere

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls,

Hard times, Cotton Mill Girls

It’s hard times, Cotton Mill Girls, hard times everywhere
