Factory Blues

I was just browsing old forum posts.
Couldn’t find any info on the song “Factory Blues”
I did find the song “Factory Girls” wherein Lu appeared as guest artist of the Irish band Flogging Molly.
The album from 2004 is called “Within a Mile of Home”
Have a listen to Lucinda’s contribution.

Lucinda performed Factory Blues at the New York #1 show of October 4, 2009, and the Chicago #1 show of October 13, 2009. You can find those threads and setlists in the Lucinda Shows section.

Thanks Paul. I did a little more research.

Re: New York #1 Setlist

I believe it’s from this compilation album “I asked for Water, She Gave Me Gasoline”[attachment=0:3o17sa95]Graham Hines.jpg[/attachment:3o17sa95]
Performed by Graham Hines

But maybe? it was written by Jeff Stewart in 1989
Here are the lyrics and you can listen to the full song.

There appears to be two different versions of this song after listening to both clips.
