David Berkeley - 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
