Oh my goodness, keep me at home / for to the spinning mill, I don't want to go // My feet ache and my hands ache / and the spinning mill is for the peasants // For the peasants to work / and I, to the spinning mill, no longer want to go.
OH MY GOODNESS, KEEP ME AT HOME
Song of protest
This song very powerfully expresses the repulsion towards their job felt by the young female workers, wearied by the heaviness of the spinning mill work.
