Dig Deep
Words and Music by Lamb & Watson

New York City down by the docks
I remember the line stretched around the block
The middle of winter in thirty five
We were cold, hungry, and barely alive

Two brothers stood waiting their turn
Two kids braving the icy burn
I'll never forget what they did there
When they shuffled up to get their share
From the huge black vat steaming, steaming in the air

An evil looking man with a ladle in hand
Skimmed some broth from the top and filled up their cans
Then the older one he stamped his feet
And yelled "dig deep, get the meat."

Soup man laughed and said move along son
As he opened his jacket to show him his gun
The crowd backed away and tightened again
And a chant started rising above the howling wind

Dig deep, get the meat
Dig deep, get the meat
Dig deep, get the meat
Dig deep, get the meat

The soup guy shot his gun in the air
The crowd rushed forward and took up his dare
They backed him up to the edge of the dock
Then he crashed through the ice as he fell like a rock

He came up once and went under for good
I swear they'd do it again if they could
I'll never forget what they did there
When they shuffled up to get their share
From the huge black vat steaming, steaming in the air
