Steamboat Row Lyrics - Gerry Rafferty

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, he'd make his way down to the mine 

Along the dusty road he'd 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 he'd 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 

He'd 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.
