32 Down On The Robert Mackensie Paroles

The steel mills of Detroit
Our destination through the frost
At 2am on the 2nd
Waves were runnin`up to 40 feet
Winds were blowin`at 60 miles
Our engines crankin`heat
At 3:13 we took a wave
The wheelhouse left behind
Radar slipped beneath the waves
We were runnin`blind
Hear me call across the waves
If I don`t come home tonight
I will make it home someday
Chorus:
Steel boats iron men
32 down on the Robert MacKensie
Steel boats iron men
32 down on the robert MacKensie
Steel boats iron men
32 down on the Robert MacKensie But the winds were pushin`at such a rate
We ended up driftin`north
A wave broke over a 9 foot rock
Six fathom Shoal
The MacKensie she was cut in half
The stern she rammed the bow
Men were caught in metal jaws
Flames burned out of hell
Stern kept runnin`all her light`s ablaze
Not one man would be found
Captain`s last transmission read
32 Men down
Hear me call across the waves
If I don`t come home tonight
I will make it home someday
Chorus
Steel boats iron men
32 down on the Robert MacKensie
Steel boats iron men
32 down on the robert MacKensie
Steel boats iron men
32 down on the Robert MacKensie
Down down down down
Down down down down
Hear me call across the waves
If I don`t come home tonight
I will make it home someday
Yes I call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home someday.
