The Factory Girl
The Bothy Band

(início)
Am G Am As I was a-walking one fine summer's morning, Am G Am The birds on the bushes did warble and sing, Am G Am Gay laddies and lasses, and couples were sporting, Am Em Am Going down to the factory their work to begin.
Verse 2
Am G Am I spied one amongst them more fairer than any, Am G Am Her cheeks like the red rose that none could excel, Am G Am Her skin like the lily that grows in yon valley, Am Em Am And she was the hard working factory girl.
Verse 3
Am G Am I stepped up beside her to view her more closely, Am G Am When on me she cast such a look of disdain. Am G Am "Oh, young man, have manners and do not come near me, Am Em Am For although I'm a poor girl I think it no shame."
Verse 4
Am G Am "It's not for to scorn you, fair maid I adore you, Am G Am But grant me one favour, say where do you dwell?" Am G Am "Kind Sir, you'll excuse me, for now I must leave you, Am Em Am For yonder's the sound of my factory bell."
Verse 5
Am G Am "I have land I have houses, I adorned them with ivory, Am G Am I have gold in my pockets and silver as well, Am G Am And if you'll come with me, it's a lady I'll make you, Am Em Am And no more may you heed yon factory bell."
Verse 6
Am G Am With these words she turned and with that she had left me, Am G Am And all for her sake I'll go wander away, Am G Am And in some deep valley, where no one shall know me, Am Em Am I shall mourn for the sake of my factory girl.
