I ain’t gonna work in a factory, greasy on my clothes I ain’t gonna work in a factory, splinters in my toes Chorus: Pity me, my darlin’, pity me I say Pity me, my darlin’, carry me away No more I’ll wear that dirty dress, greasy all around No more I’ll wear that dirty hat, goes all in the ground No more I’ll hang my bobbins up, no more I’ll take them down No more I’ll hang my bobbins up, I’m leaving this old town No more I’ll hear that whistle bow, to call me up so soon No more I’ll hear that whistle blow, to call me from my home No more I’ll hear that spinning wheel, rolling o’er my head No more I’ll hear that spinning wheel, call me from my bed
