Owensboro - Remastered Version

Well, I lived in a town
 Way down south
 By the name of Owensboro
 And I worked in a mill
 With the rest of the "trash"?
 As we're often called
 As you know
 Well, we rise up early
 In the morning
 And we work all day real hard
 To buy our little meat and bread
 Buy sugar, tea, and lard
 Well, our children
 Grow up unlearned
 With no time to go to school
 Almost before they learn to walk
 They learn to spin and spoon
 Well, the folks in town
 They dress so fine
 And spend their money free
 But they would hardly look
 At a factory hand
 Who dresses like you or me
 Would you let them wear
 Their watches fine
 Let them wear their gems
 And pearly strings
 But when that day
 Of judgement comes
 They'll have to share
 Their pretty things
