In Cotton Mills

In cotton mills
it’s very loud,
you may get deaf.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
your lungs get blocked,
with cotton dust.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
your chest hurts you,
you lose your breath.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
you wear brown rags,
and wooden clogs.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
you’re very poor,
you may die young.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
machine’s are fast,
you see dead boys.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
the shuttle bangs,
from side to side.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
it’s very loud,
you may get deaf.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
crawl in and out,
it grabs your hair.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!

In cotton mills
it hurts your brain,
your head is sore.
Crash, crash, bang, bang!
