[Verse]
Am D A2 Am
See how the lint flies out over the moorland.
Am G D/F# Em
See how the smoke to the valley clings,
D A2 Am
See how the slate roofs shine in the drizzle.
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where Cotton is King.
Am D A2 Am
See how houses cling to the hillside,
Am G D/F# Em
Hear how the streets of children sing,
D A2 Am
Wake to the scream of the factory hooter,
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where Cotton is King.
Am D A2 Am
See how hunger has eaten the faces,
Am G D/F# Em
Tired flesh to the bones just clings,
D A2 Am
There's dust in the lungs and the bodies are twisted,
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where Cotton is King.
Am D A2 Am
Sleep is washed from the broken faces,
Am G D/F# Em
Morning clogs on the cobbles ring,
D A2 Am
Off to the mill, the weavers hurry,
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where Cotton is King.
Am D A2 Am
Work all day to the looms' hard rhythm,
Am G D/F# Em
Scrabble and toil till your tired bones sing,
D A2 Am
Then you crawl back home as the gaslights flicker,
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where Cotton is King.
Am D A2 Am
This is the land where children labour,
Am G D/F# Em
Where Life and Death mean the self same thing,
D A2 Am
Where many must work that the few might prosper,
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where Cotton is King.
Am D A2 Am
See now the clouds flying over the moorland
Am G D/F# Em
See how the graves to the valley sides cling
D A2 Am
Look at the mills now they're idle and empty
Am G D/F# Em A2 Am
This is the valley where cotton was king
