paroles de chanson Steel Mill - David Berkeley

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.
