Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][G][C][D][Am][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
My [A]daddy was a miner,
said [G]there was nothing finer
Than an [D]Ir ishman who [G]worked
an honest [A]day.[Am][A]
From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine,
he'd [G]make his way down to the mine,
[D]Along the dusty [G]road he'd travel,
[A]Fifteen miles [Am]to get there,
[G]fifteen miles to [C]go,
[D]Fifteen miles back [Am]home again,
[Dm]home [G]to Steamboat [D]Row.

[Verse 2]
He [A]used to tell about the time [G]he
got hurt down in the mine,
[D]He said he'd never go
[G]back down [A]again.[Am]
[A]But in his heart he knew he would,
he [G]did the only thing he could,
[D]Kept on walkin' [G]down that road,
[A]Fifteen miles to [Am]get there,
[G]fifteen miles to [C]go,
[Dm]Fifteen miles back home [Am]again,
[Dm]home [D]to [G]Steamboat Row[D].

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 3]
But [A]when he took to drinkin' we
[G]knew that he was thinkin',
That his [D]days were quickly com
[G]ing to an end.[Am][A]
He'd only speak of Steamboat Row,
[G]he said someday we ought to go,
And [D]walk along that [G]dusty road,
[A]Fifteen miles to [Am]get there,
[G]fifteen miles to [C]go,
[D]Fifteen miles back hom[A]e aga[Am]in,
[Dm]home [D]to [G]Steamboat Row[D].
