[Verse 1]
        C    G       C
We will sow, we will sow
       F                C
For to bring the autumn snow
        F
And our labor shall not
C            G
Be for us in vain
         C     G        C
She will grow, she will grow
       F                C
For to make her dresses flow
           F      G      Am
Til' she’s seeded by the gin
         C        G       F
Til' the mistress weaves again
        C            G
We will sow, we will sow
             C
And she will grow

        C      G       C
We will weave, we will weave
         F              C
'Til the Master has his sleeves
    F
And for good measure
      C                     G
We’ll clasp his snaps ‘fore dawn
      C      G     C
Never leave, never leave
         F         C
'Til the unison’s agreed
         F     G      Am
That she is no longer rough
         C          G        F
Like the hands that reap her up
        C              G
We will weave, we will weave
          C
And never leave

      F
These blistered and
      G
These calloused hands
     Am            C
Have done no work alone
   F               G
We formulate, then recreate
    Am                  C
The patterns that we’ve sown
    F                  G
Foremost the gin, then fibers spin
     Am             F
It’s all we’ll ever know

[Outro]
    C       F
For our forebears
     G
Have left us here
   C        F      G
To reap the autumn snow
       C        F      G
For to reap the autumn snow
        C        F      G
We will reap the autumn snow
        C            G
We will sow, we will sow
             C    G C
And she will grow
