Accidentals / Aragon Mill - Planxty

At the east end of town

At the foot of the hill

There’s a chimney so tall

That says Aragon Mill

But there’s no smoke at all

Coming out of the stack

For the mill has closed down

And it’s not coming back

And I’m too old to change

And I’m too young to die

I wonder what will become

Of my old wife and I

There’s no children at all

In the narrow empty street

Since the mill has closed down

It’s so quiet I can’t sleep

There’s no use anymore

For these cotton mills it seems

But the sound of the loom

Still haunts my dreams

But the only tune I hear

Is the sound of the wind

As it blows through the town

Weave and spin, weave and spin

Oh the mill has closed down

It’s the only life I know

Wonder what will I do

Where will I go

But the only tune I hear

Is the sound of the wind

As it blows through the town

Weave and spin, weave and spin
