lyrics

IRON WORKIN’ MAN
RON HYNES

I know sometimes its hard to tell the Costello’s apart
but you must see that through the years they’ve shown us lots of heart.
For they went in search of fortune leaving life and love behind
They were iron working men everytime.

They were iron working men everytime.
They were iron working men everytime.
For they went in search of fortune leaving life and love behind
They were iron working men everytime.

There’s men who sail the seven seas
and men who farm the land.
Men been to the moon and men with power in their hands.
But if you’re asking my opinion and the choice was always mine
I’d take an iron working man everytime.


I’ll take an iron working man everytime.
I’ll take an iron working man every time.
But if you’re asking my opinion and the choice was always mine
I’d take an iron working man everytime.

Call them spiders call them chokers
Call them all a bunch of fish.
Call them cowboys of the skies
brother call them what you wish.
But if the measure of a man is in the things he leaves behind
I’ll take an iron working man everytime.


I’ll take an iron working man everytime.
I’ll take an iron working man every time.
But if the measure of a man is in the things he leaves behind
I’ll take an iron working man everytime.

I’ll take an iron working man everytime.
I’ll take an iron working man every time.
For they took what they were given
and they laid it on the line
For they were iron working men
they were iron working men
They were iron working men everytime.

-The Spill Magazine


For the last three decades, the Grievous Angels have been carving out a unique place in the alt-roots landscape. Their songs conjure the tragic beauty of Canada’s northern blue collar frontier.

Their 8th album is a kick ass journey through dark and unsettled times.
