Well I ain't gonna work in the factory and greasy up my clothes I ain't gonna work in the factory and splinters in my toes Chorus: Pity me my darling, pity me I say pity me my darling and carry my blues away And I ain't gonna hear that ole' spinnin' wheel rollin' round my head while other girls are hard at work I'll be home in bed Chorus well I ain't gonna work in the factory and greasy up my clothes I ain't gonna work in the factory and splinters in my toes Chorus
