Nearer To God lyrics
(M. Greaves)

I work in the steel mills
Where the sun never shines
The pounding of hammers is all mine

And I ve sailed this wide ocean
For money and cod
So far from my loved ones
But nearer to God

So sing a song for the working man
And I ll sing you a love song

And my name s Wild Bob Conroy
I m a hard man of old
Now I m a drinker
Coming in from the cold

I fought for the fighting
And I fought for a wage
And I fight for survival
Like most men my age
