Lyrics Bethlehem Steel - Nanci Griffith
A
child
was
born
in
Bethlehem,
The
son
of
a
steel
worker
union
man.
He
grew
up
tall
and
he
grew
up
strong,
And
when
he
came
of
age,
All
the
steel
was
gone.
Go
to
China,
To
Vietnam,
There's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
There's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
He
wants
gold,
There's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
Save
our
souls,
Cos
there's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
A
reckless
kid
wants
to
use
his
hands,
He's
got
a
real
quick
trigger
and
some
new
demands.
He
grew
so
fast,
and
he
grew
so
free,
And
when
he
comes
around,
he
finds
there's
no
more
steel.
So
shaken,
To
his
knees,
He's
got
the
same
old
rocket
and
a
new
disease.
And
he
won't
take
it,
On
his
neck,
He's
got
the
red
hot
whiskey,
He's
got
no
respect.
He
wants
gold,
There's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
Save
our
souls,
Cos
there's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
Ooh,
ooh.
Ooh,
ooh.
Ooh,
ooh.
Ooh,
ooh,
Ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh,
ooh.
He
wants
gold,
There's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
Save
our
souls,
Cos
there's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
You
can
put
your
faith
in
the
government,
But
there's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
Try
to
get
them
back,
try
for
reckoning,
But
there's
no
more
steel
left
in
Bethlehem.
He
wants
gold...
