The lyrics are "they raised our wages five cents more, but they raised them a dime at the company store, hard times Cotton Mill girls, hard times everywhere". Those lyrics are not included in the Spain Brothers CD that has this song, but Liam always sings them when he does it live. I LOVE this song!!
Thanks MakemSpainfan. I must've listened to that 20 times and couldn't make it out. Now that I know it it's so clear.

Does anyone know what the lyrics are to the 4th verse? The one that starts out "Well they raised my wages...".
Great song!

Great song and great audience response! Screams at the end of the song say it all.
