Cotton Mill Girls Lyrics & Chords By Hedy West

I worked in the cotton mill all my life,
I ain't got nothing but a barlow knife.
It's a hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

Chorus:
It's a hard times, cotton mill girls,
A hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

In 1915 we heard it said,
"Move to cotton country and get ahead."
It's a hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

Chorus

From Gilmer to Bartow is a long, long way,
Down Cartecay from Ellijay.
It's a hard times, cotton mill girls,
Hard times everywhere.

Chorus

When I die don't bury me at all,
Just hang me up on the spinning room wall,
And pickle my bones in al-ki-hol.
It's a hard times, cotton mill girls,

Chorus
