Poverty, poverty, no!
My loom is a-staying all [Fm] day!
Poverty, poverty, no!
[Gb] Gout is too [Ab] skinny to pay!
Poverty, poverty, no!
[Ebm] Keeping [N] one eye on the clock,
I know I can get through when I hear my shackle go.
Poverty, poverty, no!
Up every morning at five, I wonder that we keep the light.
Silent yawning, another poor morning is back to the dreary old drive.
Poverty, poverty, no!
My loom is a [Ab]-staying all day!
Poverty, poverty, no!
Gout is too skinny to pay!
[N] Poverty, poverty, no!
Keeping one eye on the clock,
I know I can get through when I hear my shackle go.
Poverty, poverty, no!
Oh dear, we're going to be late.
Gaffer is stood at the gate.
We're out of pocket, our wages they'll go keep, we'll have to buy grub on the slate.
Poverty, poverty, no!
My loom is a-staying all [Gbm] day!
Poverty, poverty, no!
[Ab] [Gb] Gout is [Ab] too skinny to pay!
Poverty, poverty, no!
Keeping one eye on the [Gb] clock,
I know I can get through when I hear my shackle go.
Poverty, poverty, no!
Oh when all our wages they [N] bring, we're often short of a string.
While we are fetching with Gaffer for snatching, we know to his throat he will cling.
Poverty, poverty, no!
My loom is a-staying all day!
Poverty, poverty, no!
Gout is too skinny to pay!
Poverty, poverty, no!
Keeping one eye on the clock,
I know I can get through when I hear my shackle go.
Poverty, poverty, no!
Sometimes a shackle flies out, and gives some poor woman a glance.
There she lies sitting, but nobody's seating her, who's going to carry her ass?
Poverty, poverty, no!
My loom is a-staying all day!
Poverty, [Ab] poverty, no!
Gout is too skinny to pay!
[N] Poverty, poverty, no!
Keeping one eye on the clock,
I know I can get through when I hear my shackle go.
Poverty, poverty, no!
Oh dear, my forehead it sings, I should have worn them free strings.
But trance of great dignum my back is aching, oh dear, how I wish I had wings.
Poverty, poverty, no!
My loom is a-staying all day!
Poverty, poverty, no!
Gout is too skinny to pay!
Poverty, poverty, no!
Keeping one eye on the clock, I know I can get through when I hear my shackle go.
Poverty, poverty, no!
