Factory Girl

"Factory Girl" is a song by the Rolling Stones which appears on their 1968 album Beggars Banquet. It is very similar to an Appalachian folk tune, especially due to its minimal arrangement, featuring Mick Jagger on vocals, Keith Richards on acoustic guitar, Rocky Dijon on conga drums, Ric Grech of Family on fiddle/violin, Dave Mason on Mandolin and Charlie Watts on tabla. On his performance, Watts said in 2003, "On 'Factory Girl', I was doing something you shouldn't do, which is playing the tabla with sticks instead of trying to get that sound using your hand, which Indian tabla players do, though it's an extremely difficult technique and painful if you're not trained." The song is composed of lyrics musing on the singer's relationship with a young woman, all while he is waiting for her to come out to meet him;
