Chuck Ragan - Congratulations Joe lyrics

Woke up one day and made his way down
To the water front as he did all the days
In his 44 years
As longs as the ships made it in

Stands for a cause stands for a union
For another day is gone
A dying breed of workers
Who lived to carry on
Who died for the age that we're in
In a cloudy haze the fog drifted in
And men wore his colors who chose to begin
As a younger man working through his days
To carry home the food to carry home the pay

Woke up one day and made his way down
To the water front as he did all the days
In his 44 years as long the ships made it in

The best day was the one
Milestone in a marathone
On that oakland waterfront
Well deserved reward for a hard working one
Served and now deserves whats to come

In a cloudy haze the fog drifted in
And men wore his colors who chose to begin
As a older man working through every day
To carry home the food to carry home the pay
We all have a cause worth waging war
Worth making peace to keep
We all have a love whatever that is
Or whom is thee to seek there comes a day
If were lucky enough
And the cards fall our way, i pray
To sit with the birds and take the boots off

To sit with the birds and take the boots off
