I was born in the corn fields of Kentucky I moved north in '73 The war was still going strong so I found a job Rolling steel in the foundries in Homestead
I worked beside a guy named Grzbowski He taught me how to keep safe He said, "there's many a man who's lost the fingers from their hands" You can wind up crippled or dead in Homestead
And the steel glowed in white hot chambers The furnace spit fire and smoke And the sunlight came through the cracks in the roof And the dust was so thick you could choke
I heard all the old stories about the twelve hour shifts in the mill And the union brothers the Pinkertons tried hard to kill Heard about Frick and Carnegie the day the river ran red How the union caved in in Homestead
It was more than a job, it was my family I got married, settled down, bought a home And in the bars down the street, in the late summer heat You never had to feel alone
I got work tearing those old mills down 'Til there was nothing left but the sweat and blood in the ground At night we tuck our little babies in bed We still pray to the red, white and blue in Homestead
