Pennsylvania, take me in your trees Bury me so deep beneath your burning autumn leaves Little town of Bethlehem means nothing to me Anymore Daddy's gone, got dug up at the root Caught between the casting spill, the boiler, and the chute Now I'm just a boy in a pair of dead man's boots By the door They say that America has Bethlehem Steel Running down the length of her spine She's hard and unfeeling and cold to the touch She was born way down in the mines, boys Born way down in the mines I stumble as I pass on through the gate Where on these weary soles a different man walked yesterday But it's like the foreman says, we don't get no time to waste Past the door And I learned to work, I learned to toil and rush Pretending all these hours won't just someday turn to rust My lungs are getting speckled like the belly of a thrush In the morn They say that America has Bethlehem Steel Running down the length of her spine I'm shackled to her bed and now she's bearing down like lead Pushing all that weight into mine, boys Pushing all that weight into mine And I've seen their towers crowned, your cities fed I've made thunder, I've made fire loud enough to wake the dead Promises were made, I can't remember what they said Anymore They say that America has Bethlehem Steel Running down the length of her spine But how can I carry the weight of a nation With a back made of old knotted pine, boys A back made of old knotted pine?
