[VERSE 1:]
   D
My daddy was a miner
          C
Said that there was nothing finer
        G            C                D
Than an Irishman who worked an honest day

From Steamboat Row, in rain or shine
     C
He'd make his way down into the mine
 G              C    
Along the dusty road he'd travel


[CHORUS:]
Dm
Fifteen miles to get there
C                F
Fifteen miles to go
G                  Dm
Fifteen miles back home again
G       C         G
Home to Steamboat Row


[VERSE 2:]
   D
He loved to talk about the time
     C
That he got hurt down in the mine
   G               C             D
He said he'd never go back down again

But in his heart he knew he would
   C
He did the only thing he could
       G               C    
And he kept on walking down the road


[CHORUS:]
Dm
Fifteen miles to get there
C                F
Fifteen miles to go
G                  Dm
Fifteen miles back home again
G       C         G
Home to Steamboat Row

[VERSE 3:]
    D
But when he took to drinking
   C
We knew that he was thinking
         G                 C            D
That his days were quickly coming to an end

He'd only speak of Steamboat Row
   C
He said someday we'd have to go
       G              C    
And to walk along the dusty road


[CHORUS:]
Dm
Fifteen miles to get there
C                F
Fifteen miles to go
G                  Dm
Fifteen miles back home again
G       C         G
Home to Steamboat Row
