CD07-16: Mungyeong, Song for Spinning Cotton
(Mungyeong, Gyeongbuk Province/ Yun, Gyeong-im(76yrs)/ 1993)
◆ Cotton spinning was the work of the women, and like spinning hemp thread, the work was done night and day in family or in groups among neighbors. As a result there were many chances to sing in order to chase away boredom or to lament about their lives.
(Content of Song)
“You workers in this room
Let us quickly spin and go home
The spinning wheel squeaks and refuses to turn
I put a drop of sesame oil and it quickly starts to turn again”
