Lyrics

THE BIG IRON [c]2003
By Shane O'Brien

Michael Del Rico, Local 433
We remember you brother,we remember you, Well. Real well
Union Ironworker, Los Angeles California
Thirty feet in the hole, Ended his working life and his family

You get up every mornin' and every night, yeah
You get out on the big iron yeah
You get up every mornin' and every night now
Out on the big iron now

What a, what a high it is yeah
What a rush that it is baby. Out on the big iron
You get high, you get high baby
every mornin' day and night now, on the big Iron yeah

On the big iron babe
You got your union brotherhood callin' you babe
What a camaraderie, what a friendship that it is babe
Yeah, on the big iron now, hum
You got your friendships, its a camaraderie now.
You'd give your left arm babe
To see your family and your life stay out of the hole

You get high, high, high babe
Day in year after year after year after year
You get high now, just a rush flyin' in the air
And you'd give your left arm now, you'd give your left arm now
You'd give your left arm now
Just to simply see his family and his life stay in tow
Ah, there ain't no big hole'n now, ain't no big hole'n now
You make first man, I got first, it don't really matter
Were all one you know

Ain't that the big iron now, ain't that the big iron man
Like no other now, now
You say your brothers is your brothers now
And say your prayers now, for the men fallen by the way 

And at the end of a grueling day now
you meet your brothers on the ground for a beer
And at the end of a grueling day now
You meet your friends, your brothers on the ground for a beer yeah
And talk about each other yeah, and brag about the day
And talk about each other now
And how you swang around, round, round
How you had a round today
And your wonderin' now, and your wonderin now
What tomorrow brings, tomorrow brings now.
Are you brave as you were yesterday, on the big iron now
On the big iron now
On the big iron babe
On the big iron babe

(From Cd _ From The Jungle To The Zoo [c]2003)
