Irrigator’s Blues Songtext
von Luke Bell

One, two
One, two

Cedar posts and shovel handles
And the corn is near knee-high
Grab them waders off the step, boys
Swill that coffee, step outside
Load up the dogs, gotta beat that sun
There′s a frost on the windows
Stick your head out the side, it's time to ride
Come on, buddy, let′s go

I got them irrigator blues
All day, all summer long


The sun is high, it's half past noon
And the snakes are getting out
Did you ever chop a rattler with your boot stuck in its mouth?
All them skeeters, boy, them skeeters
Come a-diving for your blood
You can pull that collar up
But it won't fend off the flood

I got them irrigator blues
All day, all summer long

On the guitar
Scratch that cat out

It′s getting late, the sun goes down
Change your water by the stars
Damn, the dam won′t set in the ditch
And the canvas tore apart
Pack it up and let's go home
And I promise you, my friend
We′ll be back here every day
'Til you feel September wind, all right

I got them irrigator blues
All day, all summer long

One more time
