GUEST,Corinne	Women's Work Songs (78* d)	RE: Women's Work Songs	29 Oct 04
Just thought of another. Have you heard Hannah Hutton (from Rothbury in Northumberland) sing "The Lassie that works in the mill"? "Oh the gay servant lassies are dressed up to kill, And the dressmaker's bonnier still, But the bonniest lass in the whole rig-ma-tig Is the lassie that works in the mill". There are a couple of songs from the North of Ireland about millgirls. The best known is the one from Sarah Makem where the rich man fails to persuade the mill girl to marry him; she'd rather carry on working for her living.
