G Em
At the east end of town at the foot of the hill,
D C G
there‘s a chimney so tall it says Aragon Mill.
G Em
But there‘s no smoke at all comin’ out of it’s stack,
D C G
since the mill has shut down it‘s never coming back.
[Refrain]
G Em
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
D C D G
as she blows through the town weave and spin, weave and spin.
G Em
There's no children playin‘ in the dark narrow streets,
D C G
since the mill has shut down, it's so quiet that I can't sleep.
G Em
The mill has shut down, but it's the only life I know,
D C G
tell me, what will I do, tell me, where will I go?
[Refrain]
G Em
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind,
D C D G
as she blows through the town weave and spin, weave and spin.
G Em
I'm too old to work, and I'm too young to die.
D C G
Tell me, where will I go now, my family and I?
G Em
There‘s no use anymore for these cotton mills it seems,
D C G
but the sound of the loom still haunts my dreams.
G D
Weave and spin...
D G
Weave and spin...
