lyrics

On the third deck of a triple-decker
little Danny lifts his little bones
Workin seven days, daybreak to nightfall,
like the Chinese did in California
He spins innocent cotton at the Massachusetts Mill
And he ain’t even 12 years old
His pa got hurt from a flying shuttle
Like his granddad did before

He’s gonna fly down to the river
The dam’s holding back the water
Gonna follow them rocks wherever they lead
To where the ocean meets the sky
On the river, he’s gonna fly

On the third deck of a triple-decker
little Johnny’s stories are autumn leaves
His ma holds his hand through the streets of the city
Where the saints are buried they go
French social club, St. Louis de France,
There’s Chinese cooking downtown
He skips class when the nuns ain’t lookin’
‘Cause the bookshelves take him somewhere

On the third deck of a triple-decker
little Jamie zooms his x-wing fighter
Got it down at the Zayre at the Central Plaza
with the Aquaman underwear
He wears them proud outside his pants,
There’s Chinese cooking downstairs
Never seen little Johnny’s stations of the cross
Out back the Franco-American School
