here's the version I have: It's hard times, Cotton Mill Girls, hard times, Cotton Mill Girls hard times, Cotton Mill Girls, hard times everywhere
v1) I worked in a cotton mill all of my life, ain't got nothing but this Barlow knife It's hard times Cotton Mill Girls, It's hard times everywhere chorus
v2) In 1915 we heard it said, move to the country & get ahead hard times Cotton Mill Girls, It's hard times everywhere chorus
v3) Us kids worked 14 hours a day for 13 cents of measly pay it's hard times Cotton Mill Girls, It's hard times everywhere chorus
v4) When I die don't buy me at allm, just hang me up on the spinning room wall pickle my bones in alcohol, it's hard times everywhere.
Hedy West apparently owns the copyright on it although there's also a copyright attributed to another woman. I was shocked, I thought this was a real trad. folk song!
