O, [E]dear me, the mill is running fast
And [A]we poor
[E]shifters [A]canna get[E] nae rest
[E]Shift[A]ing bobbins [E]coarse and [A]fine
They [E]fairly make you work for your
[A]ten and [E]nine
[E]O, dear me, I wish this day were done
[A]Running [E]up and doon
[A]the Pass is nae [E]fun
Shiftin`, piecin`, [A]spinning warp, [E]weft and [A]twine
[E]There's no much pleasure [A]living
off ten and[E] nine
[E]O, dear me, the world is ill-di[G#m]vide[E]d
[E]Them that works
the hardest [A]are the least prov[E]ided
[E]But I maun bide conten[B]ted, [E]dark days or [A]fine
To feed and cloth
my [E]babies [A]offa ten and [E]nine
