Oil Well Blues

Oh listen to that gas, how it's blowin' and quiverin'
It's blowin' just like an earthquake

[Verse 1]
Ain't nothin', mama, don't be scared at all
It ain't nothin', mama, don't be scared at all
There's a long-distant well and it's blowin' in oil, that's all

[Verse 2]
Ain't nothin' to hurt you, sugar, ain't nothin' that's bad
Ain't nothin' to hurt you, honey, ain't nothin' bad
It's the first oil well that your little boom ever had

[Verse 3]
I'm a long-distance driller, I'm wild-cattin' the country through
I'm a long-distance driller, I’ve been wild-cattin' the country through
Well, I'm stoppin' wild-cattin' if I bring in this well for you

[Verse 4]
I'm a mean oil well driller, been a driller since I've been a man
I'm a mean oil well driller, I've been a driller since I've been a man
And I don't stop drillin' till I strikes that Woodbine sand

[Verse 5]
I got a rеputation and they call me drillin' Slim
I got a mean rеputation and they call me drillin' Slim
But when I starts to drillin', you hear women hollerin', “too black bad"
