lirik lagu tim hus - alberta crude

in the early days when they first struck oil out on the alberta plains
turner valley rush and the oil camp dust derricks on the foothills range
oilmen sitting in a tarpaper shack talkin’ about makin’ it big
holes in the ground and the pipe goin’ down drilling on a cable tool rig
up to calgary there’s oil in the air, light in the night from the burnin’ of the flares
stocks are a sellin’ and the hammers ring this is gonna be the next big thing

chorus:
the big calculators and the land speculators
and the bold tycoon att-tude
the gold they found was the oil in the ground
and the story of the alberta crude
the story of the alberta crude
the search for oil is a difficult thing fortunes made and lost
the pull is strong on a wildcat song drayton valley oil rig boss
imperial oil they drilled and drilled and every single hole was dry
they pointed to spot on the map at leduc and said “give it just a one more try!”
the roulette wheel goes around and around six thousand feet down in the ground
the great oil age was about to begin the day that leduc #1 came in
chorus

bridge:
black crude oil, it’ll pay the rent
where they got all h-ll for a bas-m-nt
the devil himself has a story to tell
about redwater days or pembina wells
there’s a downwind breeze from the refineries and the pipeline’s flowing fast
that’s the whole deal with the oil fields and the history of the oil patch
thru the long hard years of dry hole drilling, heartbreak dreams and toil
the boom and the bust and the thrill and the rush and a billion barrels of oil
where the iron rigs and the steel tools fought the battle for the fossil fuels
badlands, tarsands, all of the rest: that is the story of the oil out west
chorus
