Weave Room Blues Loudon Wainwright III (Ft. Kate McGarrigle)

Working in a weave room, fightin' for my life
Tryna make a livin' for my kiddies and my wife
Some are needin' clothing and some are needin' shoes
I'm a gettin' nothing but the weave room blues

I got the blues, I got the blues
I got the old weave room blues
I got the blue, the weave room blues

With your looms a-slammin', shuttles bouncin' on the floor
And when you flag your fixer you can see that he is sore
Tryna make a livin' but I'm thinkin' I'm a lose
I'm a gettin' nothin' but the weave room blues

I've got blues, I got the blues
I got them awful weave room blues
I got the blue, the weave room blues

The harness size are breakin' and the dog was comin' through
The devil's in your alley and he's comin' after you
Our hearts are aching and let's take a little booze
We're simply dying from the weave room blues

I've got blues, I got the blues
I got them awful weave room blues
I got the blue, the weave room blues
