SHINGLE WEAVER

 

Leather belts whistle moving

Logs in unison through the weavers

Pins and the pin boy lurches

Pins they shout and the spindles spin

 

Pins ! Again the pin boy grabs for

The moving target

Pins ! ! Staggering under his load

A finger lost blood spurting red

 

Pins !  Again no stoppage the day will be

A winner the nine finger Weaver will

A bonus get and the pin setter gets to breath

Pins ! ! !

 

A group of nine finger weaver and some less

Cursing the pin setter.  Pins !

Today if we lose the rest no matter

Pins !
