The Jute-Mill Song (Mary Brookbank)
Mary Brookbank, autora de esta preciosa canción de cuna que la Casey borda como tiene por costumbre, nació en 1897 y a la edad de 13 años comenzó a trabajar en una fábrica de yute en el tiempo en que Dundee era el centro mundial de una próspera industria manufacturera de este textil. Cantautora, escritora y poeta fué también una importante activista que luchó por mejorar las penosas condiciones de trabajo que imperaban en esta industria que hacían que " la vida de las trabajadoras de Dundee fuera un infierno en vida lleno de duro trabajo y miseria".

So proud to have come from Jute Mill relatives. Mum, Dad, Grannies, Grandad's, Aunties, Uncles. They had such a hard life to give us a better one.12 years ago

To bad this song is too recent my historical fiction story. This girl even sounds like the character! But it's a wonderful song anyway.12 years ago

@malachy1847 Exactly. Most of the time blames are put on nations, instead, should be put on certain group of people who exist in every nations and they are capable enough to breed some of their own as authorities to give them institutional support. Thanks for your insight.13 years ago

@alokdi1 I suppose that was the Economic idea of the Colonist having Raw material garnered from a far, then transported of back to a remote industrial base for processing after which finished product was then exported to the very Colony from with the parent product came. even today very little changes. both sets of workers were exploited by for the betterment of another social class.. I do respect the struggles of both sets of workers who laboured under such harsh conditions... great song...13 years ago

Jute is harvested from Jute plant which usually grows about 15 ft. Bangladesh has been the largest producer of jute. Once jute was the largest export of bengal. Under the British rule jute must had been exported to UK. It's nice to see the connection between Bengli farmers and the jute mill workers in UK when they will never know each other but they have been bonded with the fiber of jute.14 years ago

@DonegalRaymie201 The US in the late 19th century owes Dundee a big thanks. Most of the inside of the canopies on the waggons used by all those families who moved west were made of jute.14 years ago

I did some genealogy in Dundee and every single link over the last hundred years were jute mill workers. Workers of the world unite. I'm proud of them all.14 years ago

To my everlasting shame, I have to ask, what was jute? What was it used for and would I recognize it if I saw it? Apologies in advance for my shameful ignorance!15 years ago

i remember as a young boy performing this song along with the road and the miles to dundee at my primary school at our annual christmas show. each class would have a show to perform and ours one year was these songs celebrating dundees jute mill heritage. there is a monument in the toon commemorating this subject with the words to the song on the monument. it fills me with pride and an immense amount of sadness. long live bonnie dundee.15 years ago
