"Oh dear me, the mill's gaun sae fast,"
It's called 'Oh Dear Me', written by Mary Brooksbank a Dundee weaver.
Will dig out the text tomorrow if somebody doesn't beat me to it.
Also by Mary is 'The Dundee Lassie'.
Nice poem (Samuel Bamford or Edwin Waugh) made into a song by Harry Boardman called 'Shurat Weavers Lament' about the cotton famine during the American Civil War when the weavers were forced to use inferior cotton from Surat(?) in India which made their fingers bleed. (think I've still got a text somewhere).
Will dig out anything I have if they are any use.
