Muckin Slushers

    A                                           E
The price of uranium is up and there's money to make.
     D                A            D                     A
Come on, you big rock bolters who answer to the name of miner.
     D                A                   E                A
This old boom town is still around on the shores of Elliot Lake.

[Chorus]
D
Time cards in and out, up and down cages, gonna make heaven out of hell, earn wages.
E
Come on, cleirky, pay me now, I got eighteen holes a-goin' pow, pow, pow.
          D              A              E                      A
And there ain't no music finer. She's a damned good song for a miner.
  E                      A
A damned good song for a miner.

[Verse]
          A                            D                   A
When it's daylight on the townsite and midnight a way down under,
      A                                             E
I can hear the shift boss say, "She's a muckin' out well."
     D                    A            D                A
With hard hats, boots and oilers we're off to scale the stoke, boys.
D                      A                 E                   A
Goodbye, town, we're a-goin' down to the belly of a man-made hell.

[Chorus]
D
Time cards in and out, up and down cages, gonna make heaven out of hell, earn wages.
E
Come on, cleirky, pay me now, I got eighteen holes a-goin' pow, pow, pow.
          D              A              E                      A
And there ain't no music finer. She's a damned good song for a miner.
  E                      A
A damned good song for a miner.

[Verse]
       A                              D                   A
In the afternoon we'll cage up to the surface and home to supper,
          A                               E
But we'll all meet at the Algoden later tonight.
          D                         A             D                A
Where the wine and the beer and the singin' kinda get a good miner swingin'.
          D                 A                          E                 A
And we'll dance around this whole damned town till the sun comes shinin' bright.

[Chorus]
D
Time cards in and out, up and down cages, gonna make heaven out of hell, earn wages.

Come on, cleirky, pay me now, I got eighteen holes a-goin' pow, pow, pow.

And there ain't no music finer. She's a damned good song for a miner.
  E                      A
A damned good song for a miner.

[Verse]
     A                             D                       A
Come on, you muckin' slushers, you jack leg drillers and blasters.
    A                                           E
The price of uranium is up and there's money to make.

And there ain't no music finer. She's a damned good song for a miner.
  E                      A
A damned good song for a miner.

    E                    A
One hell of a song for a miner.
