Steel Mill Songtext
von David Berkeley

There′s a steel mill shut down when spring came
Dad gave his life there, I was doing the same
Now I don't know what to do with my days
Kingdom comes to workmen so the preacher he says
And there′s voices sometimes well you know
The devil comes a-knocking when the money gets low

So won't you sing with me please, oh-de-le oh-de-la oh-de-le
Sing with me please, oh-de-le

It's not like I like working there
The fire and the shovel and the smoke in my hair
Oh but Lord, it′s all I know
I miss being needed having somewhere to go
There′s these voices sometimes well you know
The devil comes a-knocking and the bottle gets low


So won't you sing with me please, oh-de-le oh-de-la oh-de-le
Sing with me please, oh-de-le

There′s a woman who gave me the will
And her name is Gracie she believes in me still
My name is Joseph, it could well be Joe
I don't mean to harm you with the hurt that I hold
Cause it′s a story heard round each bend
A man works his heart out and is broke in the end

So come on sing with me please, oh-de-le oh-de-la oh-de-le
Sing with me please, oh-de-le

Sing with me please, oh-de-le
Sing with me please, oh-de-le

There's a steel mill shut down when spring came
I gave my life there, my dad did the same
There was a steel mill shut down when spring came
I gave my life there, suppose I′d do it again
