Sometimes a shuttle flies out and gives some poor woman a clout She lies there bleeding while nobody's heading Who's going to carry her out? CHORUS The tuner should tackle my loom, but he just sits there on his bum He's always busy a-courting our Lizzie And I just can't get him to come And Lizzie's so easily led, I reckon he takes her to bed She used to be skinny, now look at her pinny It's just about time they were wed CHORUS Oh my poor head how it sings, I should have woven three strings The threads they keep breaking, my poor heart is aching Oh God, how I wish I had wings.
