Peggy Seeger - Aragon Mill

Aragon Mill
(Performed by Peggy Seeger)


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
For the mill has pulled out
And it ain't 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

Now I'm too old to change
I’m too young to die
And there's no place to go
For my old man and I

There's no children at all
In the narrow empty streets
Now the looms have all gone
It's so quiet I can't sleep

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

Now the mill has shut down
It’s the only life I know
Tell me where will I go
Tell me where will I go

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