(Chorus) 'Mississippi Digger' Chief had a passion In a distance stood his mistress, Lady of the Night, Lights sparkling like diamonds proud, tall and upright.... (Chorus) One hand said to the other, look close and you can see, That wasn't a light going out, she winked at me.... (Chorus) A hollow voice said, This rig is 7/24/ three sixty five and I'm here in the shadows to keep you alive, Chief' said, Let's go Lads put on your well digger shoes, To go with your well digger blues.... (Chorus) When the motorman throttled up she didn't choke, Her way of answering was a cloud of black smoke.... ~~~~~~~ She's working now, let's turn to the right, Diesels roared with all their might.... ~~~~~~~ Roughnecks and alike know if you don't put out you get canned, And the money only goes up if you make Derrickman.... ~~~~~~~ Oil men love their life, Not all women can be an oilfield wife.... (Chorus) Always working but always short of cash, Sometimes, in mixed company, they get called 'Oilfield Trash'.... ~~~~~~~ No one defends them, they can hold their own, 'Oilfield Proven' 'Oilfield Strong' In close collaboration ,with Chief with his on vision, watch over your men and always do your best,Mississippi Digger.
