"song of the shirt"

The life for those textile factory workers was so hard.The reason why is because in the song it mentions how long they work when he says work,work,work, till the stars shine trough the roof.Also how he describes how the women were dressed in un-womanly rags and how they were sweing the whole time.So their life must of been really hard because they barely got any sleep and had to work to help their family.
