letra de the sheffield grinder/black joak - brown wimpenny

[verse 1]
the sheffield grinder’s a terrible blade
tally hi-o, the grinder
he sets his little ones down to trade
tally hi-o, the grinder
he turns his baby to grind in the hull
till his body is stunted and his eyes are dull
his brains, they are dizzy, dazed in his skull
tally hi-o, the grinder

[verse 2]
he shortens his life and he hastens his death
tally hi-o, the grinder
he drinks steel dust in every breath
tally hi-o, the grinder
he won’t usе a fan as he turns his wheel
he won’t wash his hands when hе eats his meal
dies like he lives, as hard as steel
tally hi-o, the grinder

[verse 3]
these sheffield grinders of whom we speak
tally hi-o, the grinder
are men who earn but a pound a week
tally hi-o, the grinder
but of sheffield grinders another sort
methinks ought to be called into court
and that is the grinding government board
tally hi-o, the grinder
[verse 4]
at whose door lies the blacker blame?
tally hi-o, the grinder
where rests the heavier weight of shame?
tally hi-o, the grinder
on the famine-price contractor’s head
or the workman’s, under-taught and under-fed
who grinds his own bones and his child’s for bread?
tally hi-o, the grinder

[instrumental]
