   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
