Depression era lament of the 99%

lyrics

Got a gal on the Matsqui nation
Half a mile from the Dennison station
I gets to see her maybe once a week
That's if the 509 brakes for the trestle at the creek.
Cause it's a long long long way to go
I got a job by the riverside
I swing a hoe from dawn well into night
It only pays say a dollar and a dime
Gonna spend every nickel on that sweet gal of mine
Cause it's a long long long way to go
Ya gots yer Alberta crude and and yer Cariboo gold
Makes the man rich while I swing this ol' hoe
I see the black snake loaded down with kootenay coal
Lining people's pockets while mine are lined with holes
Cause it's a long long long way to go
Well if I ever strike it rich if providence delivers
I'm gonna take this old hoe gonna toss her in the river
Buy a straight 8 Cord gonna drive my gal in style
Gonna drive her to the church gonna walk her down the isle
Cause it's a long long long way to go.

healthy contempt for religious authority, as well as a touch of humor and optimism.
“The Ranters” hope that you enjoy this musical offering of
contemporary roots/blues titled “Rant on, Children”. ... more
