        C    G       C
We will sow, we will sow
       F                C
For to bring the autumn snow
        F
And our labor shall not
C            G
Be for us in vain
         C     G        C
She will grow, she will grow
       F                C
For to make her dresses flow
           F      G      Am
Til' she’s seeded by the gin
         C        G       F
Til' the mistress weaves again
        C            G
We will sow, we will sow
             C
And she will grow

We will weave, we will weave
         F              C
'Til the Master has his sleeves
    F
And for good measure
      C                     G
We’ll clasp his snaps ‘fore dawn
      C      G     C
Never leave, never leave
         F         C
'Til the unison’s agreed
         F     G      Am
That she is no longer rough
         C          G        F
Like the hands that reap her up
        C              G
We will weave, we will weave
          C
And never leave

These blistered and
      G
These calloused hands
     Am            C
Have done no work alone
   F               G
We formulate, then recreate
    Am                  C
The patterns that we’ve sown
    F                  G
Foremost the gin, then fibers spin
     Am             F
It’s all we’ll ever know

For our forebears

Have left us here

To reap the autumn snow

For to reap the autumn snow

We will reap the autumn snow

We will sow, we will sow

And she will grow
