My father was a farmer, [D] and I his [A] only daughter
Took up with an old good [D] Newark man from [E] Massachusetts
[A] Who died from too [E] much whiskey, [D] and leaves me [A] these three faces to feed
[D] [B] [A]
Millwork [E] ain't easy, [D] millwork ain't [E] hard
[A] Millwork it [E] ain't nothing [D] but an awful [E] boring job
[A] I'm waiting [E] for a daydream [D] to take me through the [E] morning
[A] Put me in my coffee break [D] where I can have [E] a sandwich and [A] remember
And [G] it's me and my machine [D] for the rest of the morning
For [Dm] the rest of the afternoon, [E]
for the rest [A] of my life

Don't let this [E] manufacturer [D] use my body for [E] tools
[A] There's a right hole [E] in the evening, I'm staring at my head
[A] Swearing by [E] my sorrow [D] that a young girl [E] ought to stand a [A] better chance
[E] Oh but may I work the mills [D] just as long as I am able
[Dm] And never meet the man whose [E] name is on the label
Oh [G] it's me and my machine [D] for the rest of the morning
For [Dm] the rest of the afternoon, [E] for the rest of my [A] life
