letra de red iron ore - joe glazer
[verse 1]
come all you bold sailors that follow the lakes
on an iron ore vessel, your living to make
i shipped in chicago, bid adieu to the shore
bound away to escanaba for red iron ore
derry, down, down, down derry down
[verse 2]
in the month of september, the seventeenth day
two dollars and a quarter was all they would pay
and on monday morning, a trip we did make
on a ship named the roberts sailing out in the lake
derry, down, down, down derry down
[verse 3]
next morning, we hove alongside the exile
we soon made her fast to that iron orе pile
they lowerеd the chutes and like thunder did roar
and they filled up that ship with that red iron ore
derry, down, down, down derry down
[verse 4]
some sailors took shovels and others took spades
some took wheelbarrows, each man to his trade
we looked like red devils, and our backs, they got sore
we cursed escanaba and red iron ore
derry, down, down, down derry down
[verse 5]
well, the dust got so thick, you could scarce see your nose
it got in your eyes and it got in your clothes
we loaded the roberts till she couldn’t hold more
right up to the gunnels with that red iron ore
derry, down, down, down derry down
[verse 6]
we sailed her to cleveland, made fast stem and stern
and with our companions, we’ll spin a big yarn
here’s a health to the roberts, she’s strong and she’s true
here’s a health to the bold boys who make up her crew
derry, down, down, down derry down
[outro]
derry, down, down, down derry down
