shingle weaver

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 !
