steel men - jimmy dean lyrics
steel men, hey
working on a bridge of steel
working on a bridge of steel
out on the rocky western coast
of vancouver by the sea
at a place that’s
known as second narrows
they were building a bridge of steel
well, they hammered
and they cut and they riveted
and the welding torches were bright
making a strap on a river’s back
when upon one fatal night
(chorus)
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 from the sh-r-
the day was getting late
now the wind was
tugging 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
(chorus)
well, all of a sudden
now, the wind picked up
and it blew as hard as it could
and that steel bridge swayed
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 hounddog shakes off flies
(chorus)
eighteen men just as hard as nails
and as eager as a brand new bride
and as the clock on the
tower said quarter of four
all eighteen had died
(chorus)
steel men, ain’t going back
to a wife and daughter
steel men, living and dying by steel
living and dying by steel
living and dying by steel
living and dying by steel
