"Come out of bed, little sleepy ​head,
And get your a bite to eat. 
The factory whistle's calling you, 
There's no more time to sleep.
The children all grew up unlearned, 
They never went to school. 
They never learned to read or write; 
They learned to spin and spool. 
Every time I close my eyes, 
I see that picture still, 
When textile work was carried on, 
With babies in the mill."
