Son Volt - Ballymena

This EP was released by iconic alt-country band Son Volt last year. The title track 'Ballymena' is very interesting. I don't know of any other songs that mention the Steelboys/Hearts of Steel.

The rents have all risen, wages are low
If there’s wages to be found any more
There’s a challenge in the air to the powers that be
We’re Steelboys forever from now on

Chorus:
Tales of the troubles, sails against the tide
In the old songs of Ballymena
Tales of the troubles, sails against time
In the old songs of Ballymena

The gentry in the castles will hear the people’s words
There’s fire, the cause will not be stained
Days filled with hunger turn thoughts to America
In America we’ll live and celebrate

With the Hearts of Steel, we’re everyone you know
Without bread the castles will come down
Days filled with hunger turn thoughts to America
To America in the boats of Belfast town
