Joe Magarac

To the old, steel mill, big Joe went down
Joe Magarac
He said, "all you honkies, gather 'round"
Big Joe Magarac

I heard they're gonna build a railroad to Frisco and back
From Maine down to Mexico
And who's gonna make the steel for that track?
Big Joe Magarac

Joe Magarac
Joe Magarac
Well, there ain't no steelman in all this world
Like Joe Magarac

From the Lackawanna Road to the Rock Island Line
Went Joe Magarac
And the railroad boss said you're doing just fine
Big Joe Magarac

You know, we gotta have some buildings as big to the sky
And highways wherever you go
"Well, I ain't done yet, and I'm sure gonna try", says Joe Magarac

Joe Magarac
Joe Magarac
Well, there ain't no steelman in all this world
Like Joe Magarac

Well, the melter boss said we gotta shut down the mill
Poor Joe Magarac
He done worked all the ore in that mine on the hill
Oh, Joe Magarac

Joe jumped into the ladle, it was fiery hot
And he waved to his honkies below
And the roller boss said the very best steel we got
Is Joe Magarac

Joe Magarac
Joe Magarac
He was made out of steel from his head to his toe
Big Joe Magarac
