Standing on the floor in the city of the spindles
Got me a [F] job, lift me up to the [Bb] middle
The offering you paid did a very pretty picture
Work at the mills, held the promise of the scripture
But [Gm] a girl like me [Eb] was a work to the bone
[F] Your fingers bled and your body moaned
[Gm] Fourteen hours [Eb] a day
And then [Bb] my paycheck was [F] just half of [G] the men
[Bb]
Looking down with [Eb] oppression's [Bb] face
That [C] pile of money [F] they steal and waste
[Bb] Then they said they'd have to [Eb] cut our pay
[Bb] So we broke our cage [F] and formed the [Bb] FLRA
[F] Oh, [Gm] they said what a [Eb] waste of a pretty girl
[Bb] To let the [F] labor flag [Dm] unfurl
[Gm] I said what more [Eb] can you take from me?
I [Bb] own my hands [F] and my dignity
[Gm] So pass me a [Eb] match and we'll strike [Bb] it on the ground
[Eb] And we'll head back [Bb] down [G] to Boston Town
[Gm] We could start a party, [Bb] they'll never put it [Eb] out
And we'll head [Bb] back down to Boston Town
