The textile factory workers were always tired and weary because of the work they went through. They could not complain because they needed the money to feed their family. The workers didnt know how they could make it but they would push on by singing about the work they had to do and how hard it was for them. They weren't eating frequently or having a break for a rest. They were pushed to just keep working through the pain.They felt like they were slaves because they didnt have any freedom to stop and rest their eyes.
