Sky was black, Lord, rain came pouring down
C G D AmNumber 12 bus shuffling down Shaw Road way
C G D EmMules keep spinning, black-faced lifers peck the ground
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey
Ch.
G AmWe are mill boys, stuck on the hill boys
Stuck in the mill boys, 'till our dying day
Ch. on Poor Boy Blues (Solo)
Cotton mill will get you, boy, she'll take you to your grave
C G D AmTell you boy to use your head, apprentice out your days
C G D EmYou'll end up in nothing, boy, with cotton as your trade
Sun comes up like lightning over Tandle Hills grey
Ch. *2
It's easy to see a poor boy's blues
Am GWhen he's working every day
C GIt's harder to be there in his shoes
He was born to be that way
