Roughneck Blues
Al Terry
(Bob Terry, HICKORY 45-1056, 1956)
Ten days out, and four days in
And then I'm out ten days again
Four days ain't enough to lose
These low down roughneck blues
I'd like to quit, but I don't know how
I guess my blood is fluid oil now
I guess I'm never gonna lose
These low down roughneck blues
On at midnight, off at noon
My four days off can't come too soon
Make good money, spend it all
When I go on a ball
Ten days out, and four days in
And then I'm out ten days again
Four days ain't enough to lose
These low down roughneck blues
I told that driller yesterday
I'm going home, and home I'll stay
But he knows just as well as me
In four days here I'll be
I'd like to quit, but I don't know how
I guess my blood is fluid oil now
I guess I'm never gonna lose
These low down roughneck blues
On at midnight, off at noon
My four days off can't come too soon
Make good money, spend it all
When I go on a ball
Ten days out, and four days in
And then I'm out ten days again
Four days ain't enough to lose
These low down roughneck blues
