Dingbat Diller

[Intro]
Oh, looking for the black black gold

[Verse 1]
Well you can sing about your cowboys and Casey Jones
And talk about the miners of old
But here's to Dingbat Diller, that phantom driller
A wild cat man when the search began for the
Black black liquid

[Chorus]
So when you hear them sledges ringin'
Hear him do his drone
When the bull wheels run low
Don't cuss, don't drumble
Dingbat's a-comin' down a corduroy road
And you found that black black gold

[Verse 2]
Diller wore a derby and laced up boots
And when he hollered, them derricks rolled
Splice cable, start riggin', dress a bit, we are diggin'
We hit another gusher before sundown
Lookin' for the black black gold

[Verse 3]
One day Diller, he drilled so deep
That he hit the old devil's hold
Had a firey blast, and up to heaven
But the waters in the well quenched the fires of hell
And filled it with a black black gold

[Chorus]
So when you hear them sledges ringin'
Hear him do his drone
When the bull wheels run low
Don't cuss, don't drumble
Dingbat's a-comin' down a corduroy road
And you found that black black gold

[Verse 3]
Saint Peter gave him wings and a derby crown
And welcomed him to the heavenly folk
He said "Well a-look a-here Diller, you're a mighty fine driller
Will you go back down to help the folks on the ground?"
To find that black black gold

[Verse 4]
Now down in the beavers when the horn is high
There's a ghost with a derby we're told
So if you don't despair, and just believe he's there
Then your Dingbat dreams rises up in a stream
Of the black black gold

[Chorus]
So when you hear them sledges ringin'
Hear him do his drone
When the bull wheels run low
Don't cuss, don't drumble
Dingbat's a-comin' down a corduroy road
And you found that black black gold

[Outro]
And you found that black black gold
And you found that black black gold
And you found that black black gold
