Aragon Mill

Paddy Casey


At the east end of town 
at the foot of the hill 
Stands a chimney so tall 
that says Aragon Mill 

But there´s no smoke at all 
coming out of the stack 
The mill has shut down 
and it ain´t a-coming back 

And the only tune I hear, 
Is the sound of the wind, 
As it blows through the town, 
Weave and spin, weave and spin 

Well, I´m too old to work 
and I´m too young to die 
Tell me, where shall we go 
My old gal and I 

There´s no children at all 
in the narrow empty street 
The mill has closed down 
it´s so quiet I can´t sleep. 

Yes, the mill has shut down 
it´s the only life I know 
Tell me, where will I go 
Tell me, where will I go
