32 down on the Robert Mackenzie

32 men on a Great Lakes boat
Quit the pier at Thunder Bay
28,000 tons of coal
On a cold November day
800 feet and 10 more long
80 feet across
The steel mills of Detroit
Our destination through the frost

At 2 AM on the 2nd
Waves were runnin' up to 40 feet
Winds were blowing 60 miles
Our engines crankin' heat
At 3:13 we took a wave
Our wheelhouse ran behind
The radar slipped beneath the waves
And we were runnin' blind

Hear me call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home some day

(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie

Our captain name of Phillips
Seekin' shelter from the storm
Turned us South of Bete Gris Bay
By way of Keweenaw Point
But the wind was pushin at such a rate
We ended up driftin' North
A wave broke over a knife of rock
Six Fathom Shoal

Mackenzie she was cut in half
The stern she rammed the bow
The men were caught in metal junks
Flames burned out of hell
Stern kept running on lights of blades
Not one man would be found
Captain's last transmission read
32 men down
32 men down

Hear me call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home someday

(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
(Steel boats and iron men)
32 down on the Robert Mackenzie
Down Down Down Down Down Down Down Down

Hear me call across the waves
If I don't come home tonight
I will make it home someday

Yes, I call across the waves
If i don't come home tonight
I will make it home some day
