Lyrics Owensboro - Remastered - Natalie Merchant
Well,
I
lived
in
a
town
Way
down
south
By
the
name
of
Owensboro
And
I
worked
in
a
mill
With
the
rest
of
the
"trash"?
As
we're
often
called
As
you
know
Well,
we
rise
up
early
In
the
morning
And
we
work
all
day
real
hard
To
buy
our
little
meat
and
bread
Buy
sugar,
tea,
and
lard
Well,
our
children
Grow
up
unlearned
With
no
time
to
go
to
school
Almost
before
they
learn
to
walk
They
learn
to
spin
and
spoon
Well,
the
folks
in
town
They
dress
so
fine
And
spend
their
money
free
But
they
would
hardly
look
At
a
factory
hand
Who
dresses
like
you
or
me
Would
you
let
them
wear
Their
watches
fine
Let
them
wear
their
gems
And
pearly
strings
But
when
that
day
Of
judgement
comes
They'll
have
to
share
Their
pretty
things
