Текст песни: One More Oil Boom + перевод

Chorus:

Give me one more oil boom before I die

Give me one more chance to say goodbye

Hire me on as a derrick hand

Put me to work in the oil sands

One more oil boom before I die

North to Alaska, on the Athabasca

Bering or the Beaufort sea

Black gold hills and the diamond drills

Magic and the mystery

First we had a duster, then we had a gusher

And it never was the same again

Prairie towns and derrick crowns

Oilfield camps and oilfield men

Chorus

We had a rammy driller and he really was a killer

And he said to the setting sun

«Don't ever do me wrong when I’m throwin' on the tongs

Or layin' a spinning chain on»

Twelve hours on a graveyard tower

Blowout in the middle of the night

Grease and the grime in the summertime

Burn of the rattlesnake bite

Roustabouts and wildcat scouts

Offshore rig on a drilling ship

Catskinners and pipe slingers

Drop the weight on the button bits

At fifty below the steel’s too cold

And the rig it has to shut down

Driller and derrick hand, roughneck, motorman

They’re all goin' to town

Chorus

Instrumental

It’s blasting time on the seismic line

Tell me what I want to know

Rush for a piece of the land lease

And the ground that’s down below

There’s a plane to catch for the oil patch

And I’m a gonna be on board

I’m really in a hurry, Fort MacMurray

I’m back for one more

Chorus
