William Reedy: Music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Weaver's Life is like an engine
Coming down the mountain steep
We've had our ups and downs a'plenty
And at night we do not sleep
Very often flag your fixer
When his head is bending low
You may think that he's a'loafing
But he's doing all he knows
Soon we'll end this life of weaving
Soon we'll reach a better shore
Where we'll rest from filling batt'ries
We won't have to weave no more

Very often have a breakout
Which will surely make you sweat
You may be feeling blue and drowsy
They will almost make you quit
Very often have a headache
When our looms are running bad
When we frown and snap the lever
You can bet your life we're mad
Soon we'll end this life of weaving
Soon we'll reach a better shore
Where we'll rest from filling batt'ries
We won't have to weave no more

Very often find a partner
Who would like to learn to weave
And we feel it is our duty
We are bound to believe
Tell him all about those breakouts
Fore he'll have them by the score
When the conversation's over
He won't want to weave no more
Soon we'll end this life of weaving
Soon we'll reach a better shore
Where we'll rest from filling batt'ries
We won't have to weave no more
We won't have to weave no more
