Pipliner’s Blues Songtext
von Moon Mullican

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
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


Well you never can tell what a pipelinin′ man will do
Oh you never can tell what a pipelinin′ man will do
Now you think he's a-workin′ but he's out foolin′ 'round on you

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

Now wind up the clock and wind it tight
I gotta get me a little shut eye tonight
′Cause early in the mornin′ when the rooster crows
I gotta be ready when the whistle blows

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