02 Sep 08 - 07:55 PM (#2429346) Subject: Lyr Add: PAPER MILL SONG (Stephen Rowe) From: Jim Dixon Here's my transcription from the YouTube video: PAPER MILL SONG Stephen Rowe 1. I'm a hard-working man of forty-four years. I hale from Stephenville. My family of three, my brothers and me, Made a life round the paper mill; But times are hard in Newfoundland; It's something we all have found; And now any day I'll be out of pay When they shut Abitibi down. CHORUS: "Belfast Mill" and "The Badger Drive" Were sung by middle-aged men Whose voices have been replaced by the wind, And will never be heard here again. 2. For twenty-two years I've lived and worked And served to do my part, For what do you do when the work is through? Sure the thought of it breaks my heart; For I have a wife and two sweet girls I've raised in this neat little town. With no place to go, for all I know, They'll soon be Alberta bound. CHORUS 3. They say electric costs are great, And threaten to close the mill, But count the cost of a town that is lost For the price of a power bill. These times are hard in Newfoundland; It's something we all have found; And now any day I'll be out of pay When they shut Abitibi down. CHORUS TWICE |
