In the early 2000’s, my family would have music nights every week when I was little. I can still my mother singing this (slower than this version) and smiling down at me. what I would do to go back to those simpler times.

Good I read this thread as I am singing this song at a summer festival on Saturday in Zurich. My grandmother worked in a Belfast mill and so this song really means something to me. The girls who worked in the Belfast Mills were called 'Millies'. Two of the largest mills in NI closed due to a fall in consumer demand in 1962. Its a wonderful song and I love singing it. Thanks Si for writing it. I also wrote a song recently called the Highwaymans Lass which I also hope will be liked as much as Belfast Mill. Thanks Katie

At the East end of town, at the foot of the hill, there's a chimney so tall, it says Belfast Mill. But there's no smoke at all, coming out of the stack, for the mill has shut down and it's never coming back. And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind, as she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin. There's no children playing, in the dark narrow streets, and the loom has shut down, it's so quiet I can't sleep. And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind, as she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin. The mill has shut down, t'was the only life i know, tell me where will i go now, tell me where will I go. And the only tune I hear is the sound of the wind, as she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin. I'm too old to work and I'm too young to die, tell me where will I go now, my family and I. And the only tune i hear is the sound of the wind, as she blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.

​@@aphexrobinson2022It's not an Irish song, so you're alright there; the original title is Aragon Mill, and Aragon is in Georgia (the American state, not the Slavic country). Si Kahn wrote the lyrics based on overhead conversations when tha mill shut down. The Fureys got the song off him and changed the mill to Belfast. (With permission)

I grew up in Belfast and I had sisters that worked in The Linen Room. It was a weaving mill in Belfast. Every morning we could hear the sound of the steam whistle calling the people to work. Then one day the whistle was no more. The mill had shut down and it's never coming back. So the words hold special meaning for me.

Everyone should read songwriter Si Kahn's own comments below. Si begins by saying "Thanks to whoever posted this great version of my song 'Aragon Mill' by Davey Arthur and the Fureys." As Si says, he wrote this song after the textile mill in Aragon, Georgia, closed in 1970. What he does not say is that the mill subsequently reopened and closed again several times, but it finally closed permanently after a fire in 2002. We should all wish Si the best of luck in starting the Aragon Mill JamFest, but more importantly we should stand in solidarity with all people who are fighting against the transnational corporate greed that has destroyed the lives of working people in both big cities like Belfast and small towns like Aragon.

Dear Michael Kelly, Thank you so much for sharing your lovely story with us. I was in Sligo where the Fureys own a bar called (surprise) Furey's. It is in the Northwest of the Republic close to the sea. I went to Furey's Pub & heard some lads playing traditional songs. For all I know it could have been some of the original band if any were (or are) still alive. I was there around 2002or 2003. I did not know about the Fureys then, but discovered them later. I bought one of their early CDs in a tiny record shop in the tiny village of Doolin on my way out to the Aran Islands which lie in the Galway Bay Doolin is the departure point for the smallest of the three islands, Inisheer. Inish means Island in Irish.
