This is what I hear listening to Big Medicine's version on their Fever In The South CD. They say they learned it from the singing of Madison County, NC singer and banjo player, George Landers.

Rolling Mills

Chorus:
Oh, them rolling mills burnin' down, come down
Oh, them rolling mills burnin' down
Oh, them rolling mills burnin' down on down to the ground
And I'll never build them back any more

Oh my darlin', my darlin' come here
For I don't want to see you cry
For the best of friends must fall out and fight
And it's why not you and I

(chorus)

Come and bring your revolver
And shoot out my brain
For I'd rather be dead and laid in my grave
Than to be in the trouble I'm in

(chorus)

There's a pain in my finger I know
There's a pain in my toe
There's a pain in my true love's side
Where somebody's fooled her I know

(chorus)


I hope this is the same version you have on tape...
