Over deze songtekst:
De Aragon Mill was een molen in Aragon, Georgia (VS), gebouwd in 1898. Vanaf 1970 wordt de molen niet meer gebruikt. Si Kahn, een Amerikaanse singer/songwriter en aktivist schreef dit lied over het verloren gaan van een stukje culturele erfgoed.
At the east end of town, at the foot of the hill There's a chimney so tall, it says 'Aragon Mill' And there's no smoke at all coming out of the stack Since the mill has closed down, and it's not coming back And I'm too old to change, and I'm too young to die I wonder what will become of my old man and I There's no children at all, in the narrow empty streets Since the loom has shut down, it's so quiet, I can't sleep There's no use any more for those cotton mills, it seems But the sound of the loom still haunts my dreams And the only tune I hear, is the sound of the wind As it blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin Oh, the mill has closed down. It's the only life I know I wonder what will I do, where will I go And the only tune I hear, is the sound of the wind As it blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin And the only tune I hear, is the sound of the wind As it blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin (Lyrics received from Taia)
