LAKE SEAMANS UNION MEN   Dan Hall

You sit behind your maple desks, smoking stogies with your guests
We plough the seas and battle winds, we're Lake Seaman's Union men
Lake Seaman's Union men

Lake Seaman's Union men
Its not for love or money boys
If you ask what is it then
it's a brotherhood of sailors bound
called Lake Seaman's Union Men
Lake Seaman's Union Men

You build the ships that carry ore, you run the business shore to shore
You load us 'til the holds will bend, we're Lake Seaman's Union men
Lake Seaman's Union men

Lake Seaman's Union men
Its not for love or money boys
If you ask what is it then
it's a brotherhood of sailors bound
called Lake Seaman's Union Men
Lake Seaman's Union Men

We cut the deals with the factories, we load the ore and sail the seas
You push these ships until they're worn, we ask repairs, you give us scorn
It's not you who perish in the wind, It's we're Lake Seaman's Union men

Lake Seaman's Union men
Its not for love or money boys
If you ask what is it then
it's a brotherhood of sailors bound
called Lake Seaman's Union Men
I found them

Lake Seaman's Union Men - Dan Hall


You call your ships with rich men's names, CEO's their sons and dames
Who are these brave men of the crew, whose line worn hands have gilded you
or those who served you in the wind, those Lake Seaman's Union men
Lake Seaman's Union men

Lake Seaman's Union men
Its not for love or money boys
If you ask what is it then
it's a brotherhood of sailors bound
called Lake Seaman's Union Men
Lake Seaman's Union Men
