Lyrics

Well, I’m off to buildin’ mountains, love
Off to earnin’ our meal.
Well, I’m off to buildin’ mountains, love
Mountains of iron and steel.
Oh Yeah.
Mountains of iron and steel.
Well, I’m workin’ in New York City, love
Workin’ by the sweat of my brow
I’m workin’ in New York City, love
Layin’ that iron down.
Oh Yeah.
Layin’ that iron down.
Well, I’m always buildin’ mountains, love
And that’s why I must roam.
But when I’m done with the mountain I’m on,
Then we’re headin’ home, my love,
Then we’re headin home.
We’ll go back to our country
Back where we were born
We’re goin’ say hello to the people we know
Then off to build more.
Oh yeah,
Off to build some more.
Don’t you know what I’m thinkin’ love?
Don’t you know what I feel?
Don’t you know that I gotta go
Where they’re workin’ on iron and steel.
Oh Yeah,
Workin’ on iron and steel.
Let me tell you I know, love.
Know that the danger is real.
Let me tell you I know that, love.
But I gotta work on that steel.
Oh Yeah,
Gotta work on that steel.
Well, I’m off to buildin’ mountains, love
Off to earnin’ our meal.
I’m off to buildin’ mountains, love
Mountains of iron and steel.
Oh Yeah.
Mountains of iron and steel.
Mountains of iron and steel.
