Steel Mill Lyrics
There’s a steel mill, shut down when spring came*
My dad worked his life there
I was doing the same
Now I don’t know what to do with my days
The kingdom comes to workmen
So the preacher he says
And there’s voices, sometimes well you know
And the devil comes a knocking
When the money gets low
Sing with me please
Oh da lee Oh da la. Oh da lee
Sing with me please
Oh da lee
Yeah, it’s not like I liked 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 voices, sometimes well you know
The devil comes a knocking
And the bottle gets low
Sing with me please
Oh da lee
Oh da la
Oh da lee
Sing with me please
Oh da lee
Yeah, there’s a woman who gave me the will
And her name is Gracie
She believes in my still
My name is Joseph
It could well be Job
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 da lee
Oh da la
Oh da lee
Sing with me please
Oh da lee
Sing with me please
Oh da lee
Sing with me please
Oh da lee
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
