Four Loom Weaver
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Am
Capo:3rd fret
[Chorus]
Am C G Am D C G
I'm a Four Loom Weaver, as many a one knows, I’ve nowt to eat and I've worn out my clothes
Am D Am C G Am
Me clogs are both broken, and stockings I've none, thee'd scarce gi' me tuppence for all I've gotten on
[Verse]
D Am C Am G
Old Billy o’ Bent, he kept telling me long we might have better times if I'd but held my tongue
Am D Am C G Am
I holded my tongue 'til I near lost my breath and I feel in me own heart that I'll soon clem to death
[Chorus]
Am C G Am D C G
I'm a Four Loom Weaver, as many a one knows, I’ve nowt to eat and I've worn out my clothes
Am D Am C G Am
Old Billy were right, but he ne'er were clemmed, and he ne'er picked o'er in his life
[Verse]
D Am C Am G
We held out for six weeks, thought each day was the last, we tarried and shifted 'til now we’re quite fast
Am D Am C G Am
We lived upon nettles while nettles were good, and Waterloo Porridge was best of our food
[Chorus]
Am C G Am D C G
I'm a Four Loom Weaver, as many a one knows, I’ve nowt to eat and I've worn out my clothes
Am D Am C G Am
Me clogs are both broken, and no looms to weave on, and I've woven myself to far end
