Steel Men

歌詞

Steel men Hey Working on a bridge of steel Steel men Hey Working on a bridge of steel Out on the rocky western coast Up Vancouver by the sea At a place that's know as second narrows They we're buildin' a bridge of Steel Well they hammered and they cut and they riveted And the welding torches were bright Makin' a strap on the rivers back Sweat a bored man day til night Steel men Hey Working on a bridge to cross (that water) Steel men Ho Working on a bridge of steel Well it happened on the eighteenth day of June Back in nineteen fifty plus eight People were fishing on the shore The day was a gettin late Now the wind was tuggin at the maple trees But a steel man knows no fear If somebody wanted to bridge the Pacific Well a steel man would be there Steel men Hey Working on a bridge to cross (that water) Steel men Ho Working on a bridge of steel Well all of a sudden now the wind picked And blew as hard as it could And that steel bridge shook like a leaf in the breeze And it snapped like a stick of wood Now the girders buckled and the rivets broke And the water heard the cry And that steel bridge shook off the working men Like a hound dog shakes off flys (AAH) Steel men Hey Working on a bridge to cross (that water) Steel men Ho Working on a bridge of steel Eighteen men just as hard as nails And eager as a brand new bride And as the clock on the tower said quarter of four All eighteen had died Steel men Hey Working on a bridge to cross (that water) Steel men Ho Working on a bridge of steel Steel men Hey Ain't going back to (wife and daughter) Steel men Ho Livin and a dyin by steel Livin and a dyin by steel (hey) Livin and a dyin by steel
