Lyrics Mesabi - Tom Russell
Have
you
ever
seen
Duluth?
When
the
Great
Lake
waves
are
pounding?
There
must
be
some
way
out
of
there
You
might
end
up
lost
or
drowning
And
the
polkas
at
the
Polish
dance
hall
And
the
carnivals
of
spring
And
the
rock
and
roll
on
an
upright
piano
Didn't
the
kid
make
the
high
school
rafters
ring?
The
kid
who
heard
Howlin'
Wolf
Every
night
on
the
radio
From
those
airwaves
blasting
All
the
way
up
from
Nogales,
Mexico
And
the
duck-tail
boys
in
St.
Cloud
Polished
up
their
chords
of
fame
And
the
armory
show
Where
Buddy
Holly
sang
'The
Learning
of
the
Game'
Some
things
never
change,
on
the
Mesabi
Iron
Range
Where
that
wild
north
country
rain
screams
"Please
don't
make
me
do
the
work
my
father
did"
Bethlehem
of
the
troubadour
kid
Have
you
ever
heard
that
desert
wind
blow
'Cross
the
City
of
the
Angels?
I
was
the
kid
playing
football
In
that
Catholic
school
deep
down
in
Mexican
town
Richie
Valens
sang,
'La
Bamba'
It's
80
miles
to
Tijuana
I
stole
my
parent's
car
one
night
Never
found
the
dark-eyed
ladies
in
the
cowboy
songs
Just
a
kid
listening
To
my
Uncle
George's
record
player
While
the
great
vinyl
wheel
spun
Round
its
holy
prayer
And
steel
guitars
in
the
Telecaster
bars
Of
the
San
Joaquin
towns
And
'Don't
Think
Twice
It's
Alright'
From
the
wild
Mesabi
Holy
Ground
Some
things
never
change
It's
still
the
learning
of
the
game
You
might
end
up
on
Fifth
and
Main,
kid
Please
don't
make
me
go
out
like
my
father
did
I
wanna
sing
like
the
troubadour
kid
