The Last of the Callaghan Boys

Well Papa tried to tell me
That the trouble rode again
With a lack of understanding
From the callous Callaghans

Then I heard it through the streets of town
In fact the news soon got around
But it couldn't stop the love
That I had found

I married the last of the Callaghan boys
The last of those steel making men
I married the last of the Callaghan boys
Will I never see Pittsburg again?

Then the steel mills of Pittsburg were closed by the strikes
And the flames from the furnace no longer lit up the night
I could never have told them of my love for this man
The one they call the youngest Callaghan

I married the last of the Callaghan boys
The last of the steel making men
I married the last of the Callaghan boys
Will I never see Pittsburg again?

For a year the mills of Callaghan were cold, the fires were gone
But the people of the town still pledged the fight must carry on
It was then I had to tell them what they couldn't understand
That I'd wed the youngest son of Callaghan

I married the last of the Callaghan boys
The last of those steel making men
I married the last of the Callaghan boys
Will I never see Pittsburg again?

Then Papa went to talk it out with old man Callaghan
And they both decided now that they should try to understand
That I need the man that I have wed and the steel mills need the men
And the Pennsylvanian skies lit up again

I married the last of the Callaghan boys
The last of those steel making men
I married the last of the Callaghan boys
Will I never see Pittsburg again?

I married the last of the Callaghan boys
The last of those steel making men
I married the last of the Callaghan boys
And I'll never leave Pittsburg again
No, I'll never have to leave PIttsburg again
