The Roches - Factory Girl
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
C
As I went out walking one fine summer's morning
D C D
The birds in the branches they did gaily sing
G
The lads and the lasses together were sporting
D G D
Going down to the factory their work to begin
[Verse 2]
C
I spied a fair damsel far fairer than any
D C D
Her cheeks like the red rose that none could excel
G
Her skin like the lily that grows in yon valley
D G D
She's my own bonnie Annie my factory girl
[Verse 3]
C
I stepped did up to her, just thinking to view her
D C D
But at me she cast a proud look of disdain
G
Saying, "Stand off me, young man and do not insult me
D G D
For although I am poor, sure I think it no shame"
[Verse 4]
C
"It's not to insult you, fair maid I adore thee
D C D
Ah, pray grant me one favour, it's where do ya dwell?"
G
"Kind sir forgive me, it's now I must leave you
D G D
For I hear the dumb sound of the factory bell"
[Verse 5]
C
"Now love is a thing that does rule every nation
D C D
Good morning, kind sir, and I hope ya do well
G
My friends and relations would all frown upon it
D G D
Besides I'm a hardworking factory girl"
[Verse 6]
C
Oh, it's true I do love her, but now she won't have me
D C D
For her sake I'll wander through valley and dell
G
And for her sake I'll wander where no one can find me
D G D
I'll die for the sake of my factory girl
