Rolling Mills Of Middletown
Written and recorded by Tom T. Hall

C   F                C     Am        C       G7      C
The rollin' mills of Middletown roll on roll on roll on

                                        D7   G7       C
I knew him well old friend of mine from down Kentucky way
                                      D7          G7      C
We had some high good times my friend back in our younger days
  F                 C         G7               C
I knew he shouldn't marry any woman quite that wild
     F          C                    D7               G7
Then later on I learned that she had been expecting a child
C                                  D7     G7        C
He got his job at makin' steel and bought himself a home
          F                C     Am        C       G7      C
Where the rollin' mills of Middletown roll on roll on roll on

                                                 D7      G7      C
Well there's money in those steel mills boys and he made quite a bit
                                        D7          G7         C
He worked all night she shopped all day bought everything that fit
  F             C         G7                    C
A helper on the BOF three thousand degrees at a round
    F             C                     D7                G7
His wife was just about that hot in the bars in ol' Middletown
   C                              D7            G7    C
Of course he was the last to know oh but listen to my song
          F                C     Am        C       G7      C
While the rollin' mills of Middletown roll on roll on roll on

                                  D7        G7      C
One night the foreman on his turn said cool down No 2
                                       D7      G7     C
And he told my friend to go on home as soon as he was through
   F              C             G7               C
He stopped into a little bar to have a good cold beer
    F              C                 D7              G7
His woman and some day turn guy were dancin' closely there
     C                             D7              G7     C
Oh I knew him well and in his mind there must have been a storm
          F                C     Am        C       G7      C
While the rollin' mills of Middletown roll on roll on roll on

                                  D7              G7     C
They say he never spoke a word he just turned and walked away
                                   D7         G7      C
And no one knows exactly what took place that fateful day
     F                C                  G7         C
Some say they saw him near the tracks at furnace No 1
     F               C                  D7               G7
With heat so hot the hubs of hell would seem just barely warm
C                                       D7    G7        C
Well they never saw my friend again did he do something wrong
          F                C     Am             C       G7      C
While the rollin' mills of Middletown Ohio roll on roll on roll on
