Tribute to the 2010 Gulf Oil Spill...

Old Black Tide.
Intro:

Verse: 1
Well the rig drillin’ man, he’s towing the line,
Spends most of his days working overtime,
Running the drill till she’s smokin’ hot,
But can’t match the heat breathing down his back,

Verse 2:
Push came to shove, old black gold broke,
Up from the deep came a living hell,
Can’t shut it off, can’t slow it down,
What ya’ gonna’ do now big oil man?,

Chorus:
Well you saved your margins, held your profit lines,
Now look at the mess you’ve made this time,
Workin’ men and no job, b’cause you done turned loose,
The Old Black Tide that’s rollin now,
Wish that ol’ Black Tide would roll back on out.

Verse 3:
Eleven men gone, widows and kids behind,
The count on my wildlife, no end in sight,
This much flowing then, it’s this much now,
Ain’t no guessin’ game shut the damn thing down,

Chorus:
Well you saved your margins, held your profit lines,
Now look at the mess you’ve made this time,
Workin’ men and no job, b’cause you done turned loose,
The Old Black Tide that’s rollin now,
Wish that ol’ Black Tide would roll back on out.

That Old Black Tide, keeps on spillin’ out,
Talkin’, throwin’ fingers, and pointin’ the blame,
Stop talking boys, shut the black….

Devil down..
