Pipeliner’s Blues

[Verse 1]
Well, I'm an old pipeliner and I lay my line all day
I'm an old pipeliner and I lay my line all day
I got four or five young 'uns waitin' to draw my pay

[Verse 2]
Well I lay my line, baby, till that sun goes down
Well I lay my line, baby, till that sun goes down
Then I meet my honey, she's the sweetest gal in town

[Piano Solo]

[Verse 3]
Well, you never can tell what a pipe linin' man will do
Whoa, you never can tell what a pipe linin' man will do
Now you think he's a-workin', but he's out foolin' 'round on you

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
When you see me comin', raise your window high
When you see me comin', raise your window high
When you see me leavin', hang your head and cry

[Piano Solo]

[Bridge]
Now wind up the clock and wind it tight
I gotta get mе a little sugar tonight
'Cause early in thе mornin' when the rooster crows
I gotta be ready when the whistle blows

[Outro]
I'm an old pipeliner and I lay my line all day
I got four or five young 'uns waitin' to draw my pay
