It is interesting to go down to that part of South Carolina where Aragon Mill and all those textile milks on Mill Row were located, just old vacant buildings now, everything was sent overseas to Asia!!! Si Kahn, who wrote the song was a Union Activist and Official who was trying to help save the Mills!
Aragon Mill At the east end of town At the foot of a hill There’s a chimney so tall That says “Aragon Mill” But there’s no smoke at all Comin’ out of the stack For the mill has pulled out And they ain’t comin’ back And the only sound I hear is the sound of the wind As it blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin. There’s no children at all In the narrow, empty streets Since the looms have all gone It’s so quiet I can’t sleep. Now I’m too old to change And I’m too young to die And there’s no place to go For my woman and I. Now the mill has closed down It’s the only sound I know Tell me where will I go? Tell me where will I go?
It was a mill in Aragon Georgia, US. It likely went the way of a lot of industry in North America that located in other regions for obvious reasons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aragon_Mill
There's also Appalachian variants of the song, as well as some from the UK. In general the same but some verses are catered to the area where the singer lives
Yes, it was either Georgia or South Carolina where the Mills were located, the Labor Union's were fighting to keep the Mills open and not move out of the USA!
There is something so magical about Karen's voice. It never fails to stop me in my tracks and listen with my whole heart.
Beautiful, so full of emotion.
Karen, I would SO love to hear you perform King Orfeo sometime in the future. 💙🏴

Aragon Mill
At the east end of town At the foot of a hill
There’s a chimney so tall That says “Aragon Mill”
But there’s no smoke at all Comin’ out of the stack
For the mill has pulled out And they ain’t comin’ back
And the only sound I hear is the sound of the wind
As it blows through the town, weave and spin, weave and spin.
There’s no children at all In the narrow, empty streets
Since the looms have all gone It’s so quiet I can’t sleep.
Now I’m too old to change And I’m too young to die
And there’s no place to go For my woman and I.
Now the mill has closed down It’s the only sound I know
Tell me where will I go? Tell me where will I go?
Toujours cette voix magnifique !
Bravo Karen, magnifique
Beautiful Voice
Beautiful
❤
Where does this song come from? What does it mean? Isn't Aragon a former kingdom in Spain? My last name is Arragon, so I'm quite curious...

Thanks, very interesting!
written by US songwriter Si Kahn, it's been covered by countless folks. This is a very lovely version :-)
