The furnaces burning brightly,
the metal all ablaze
Men working in the casting area,
wrapped in a red and steamed heat haze
...
The Smelterman
The furnaces burning brightly,
the metal all ablaze
Men working in the casting area,
wrapped in a red and steamed heat haze
The sweat that pours profusely,
from hard and honest toil
As more bright molten copper,
is poured against the moulds
Men keep safe,
from stories told
Some men young,
and some men old
And when the day is done,
and weary limbs go home
The pleasure of the open sky,
allows the mind to roam
