Watching The Bobbins Lyrics - Camel

Latimer/Hoover 

Watching the bobbins, 

go up and down. 

Fine Irish linen 

for a ladies gown. 

One shirt a penny, 

seven in a tag; 

ten hours a day 

and her heart begins to drag.

This never ending cycle goes on. 

But she promised she would never stay... 

for long. 

Rocking the treadle, 

ache in her soul. 

She keeps the rhythm 

and it takes a toll. 

Photos 

Threading the needle, 

strains in her eyes. 

Old withered fingers 

steal her young girl's pride 

She's saving every penny she earns, 

because the passion for her freedom 

still burns.
