[Verse]
G               Cadd9        G  
Standing on the floor in the 
         Cadd9
city of the spindles
G        Cadd9        D
Got me a job, lift me up to the 
middle
    G            Cadd9     G 
The Offering, it painted a very 
          Cadd9
pretty picure,
G           Cadd9          D    
Work at the mills held the 
                   Dsus4  D
promise of the Scripture

      Em               C
But a girl like me was worked to the
 bone
     G                     D
Your fingers bled and your body 
moaned
Em         C               G

             D               Dsus4

G       Cadd9       G          Cadd9
Looking down with oppression's face,
     G       Cadd9      D
That pile of money they steal and 
waste
G         Cadd9               G 
Then they said they'd have to 
      Cadd9
cut our pay so
   G         Cadd9               
We broke our cage and formed the

         Em                       
Oh, they said, "What a waste of a

pretty girl
   G             D
to let the labor flag unfurl."
  Em                       C

I own my hands and my dignity."

[chorus]
   Em                        C
So pass me a match and we'll strike 
it on the ground
          G         D/F#    D
And we'll head back down to Boston 
Town
Em                            
We can start a fire and they'll

never put it out

And we'll head back down to Boston
