My daddy was a
miner, said there was nothing finer
Than an Irish man who worked an honest day
From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine, hed make his way down
to the mine
Along the dusty road hed travel
Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go
Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row.
He used to tell
about the time he got hurt down in the mine
He said hed never go back down again
But in his heart he knew he would, he did the only thing he could
Kept on walkin down that road
Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go
Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row.
But when he took
to drinkin we knew that he was thinkin
That his days were quickly coming to an end
Hed only speak of Steamboat Row, he said someday we ought
to go
And walk along that dusty road
Fifteen miles to get there, fifteen miles to go
Fifteen miles back home again, home to Steamboat Row.
