Subject: RE: lyrics req: Factory Girl - Same old man From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 26 Feb 00 - 04:59 AM I know of a few 'Factory Girl' songs. If it's the Itish one sung by a wealthy man who is jilted by a factory girl although he offers her land and house and gold in great store, let me know and I'll type out the lyrics. Rita Connolly sang the songs for Shaun Davey's "Brendan Suite" about the epic voyage of St Brendan. |

Give me a couple of days (if nobody beats me to it). What a shame Rita Connolly isn't better known. Maybe people forget she's the singer on Shaun Davey's 'Granuaile' suite CD? (I believe she is also married ot Shaun.) - Susanne |

Subject: ADD: Same Old Man (trad/Connolly) From: Susanne (skw) Date: 29 Feb 00 - 05:50 PM Here you are: SAME OLD MAN Chorus:
Down flew an owl with its head all white
Well then said the raven as she flew
And my old man's in Kalamazoo
The notes on the 'Rita Connolly' album give it as an Appalachian song. |

Subject: RE: lyrics req: Factory Girl - Same old man From: raredance Date: 29 Feb 00 - 10:07 PM there is a song called "Lewiston Factory Girl" in the DT about working conditions in New England mills in the 1830's. I also have a related version called "The Factory Girl's Come All Ye". Could that be it? rich r |

Subject: RE: lyrics req: Factory Girl - Same old man From: Susanne (skw) Date: 01 Mar 00 - 04:15 PM Sorry, forgot half the request:
FACTORY GIRL I ain't gonna work in the factory and greasy-up my clothes
And I ain't gonna hear that old spinning wheel rollin' round in my head
Repeat 1
From the CD 'Rita Connolly' as well, sung as a medley with 'Same Old Man' (or whatever the correct titles may be). |

Subject: RE: lyrics req: Factory Girl - Same old man From: GUEST,Guest: WyoWoman in Chicago ... Date: 28 Oct 00 - 12:45 AM Refreshing this thread because my good friend just sang this song for me tonight and she had two more verses that she got off a Alan Lomax recording some years back. No more shall I hear the drummer wheel, Rollin o'er my head, When other girls are home in bed. No more shall I wear the old black dress Greazy all around, No mor shall I wear th old black bonnet With holes poked through the crown. ww |
