Here I go all drunkered up singing (or attempting to) this song to the tune of Hobo's Lullaby....

Farewell…

Farewell, my weary steel mill
Let your foundries slowly die;
The gates are closing behind me
As I wipe tears in my eyes.

PGE jacked their rates up;
EPA decreased the water flow.
There're forest fires in Idaho
All the reasons they need to know.

Workers at Kaiser are still striking
For jobs that are barely even there;
The corporations are now laughing
At the worried faces everywhere.

Now the smoke is no longer rising
The emptiness is bearing down;
The mill is in a blanket of darkness
As the car slowly leaves the town….
