lyrics

scraping pennies on a factory floor
my eyes bleed red
and the face they adorn
is cracking
from a bitter chill
and i feel like i'm
falling down a great big hill

wind me, now
make me move again

my chapped hands can work no more
jenny works eight hours a day, on the row
and the children, bless 'em, they do what they can
to hold down the iron and lend a hand

wind me, now
make me move again

i gaze on a sunrise
with my pension in hand
my heart is growing weaker
ten dollars can never mend
all the sorrow that swells inside
carry me away, lord
i can no longer hide

wind me, now
make me move again
