Aragon Mill

Sy Kahn

G                                                         Em
At the end of the town at the foot of the hill
D                                                 C         G
Stands a chimney so tall that says Aragon Mill
G                                         Em
But there's no smoke at all coming out of the stack
D                                                 C                 G
For the mill has shut down and it's not coming back

Chorus:
G                                         Em
And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind
D                                                                 C                         G
As it blows through the town. Weave and spin, weave and spin

There's no children at all in the narrow empty streets
All the looms have shut down its so quiet I can't sleep

Chorus

Now I'm too old to work and I'm too young to die
And there's no place to go for my woman and I
For the mill has shut down, it's the only life I know
Tell me where will I go, tell me where I will go

Chorus
