Intro: verse 1: My daddy was a miner Said that there was nothing finer Than an Irishman who worked an honest day From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine He'd make his way down into 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 verse 2: He loved to talk about the time That 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 And he kept on walking down the road Fifteen miles to get there Fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again Home to Steamboat Row INTERLUDE: La la la, laa la-la La la la La la la, la la la La la la, la la la verse 3: But when he took to drinking We knew that he was thinking That his days were quickly coming to an end He'd only speak of Steamboat Row He said someday we'd have to go And to walk along the dusty road Fifteen miles to get there Fifteen miles to go Fifteen miles back home again Home to Steamboat Row verse 4: My daddy was a miner Said that there was nothing finer Than an Irishman who worked an honest day From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine He'd make his way down into 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 OUTRO: La la la, laa la-la La la la La la la, la la la La la la, la la la
