Oil Well Blues

(Oh listen to that gas,
 how it's blowin' and quiverin'. It's blowin' just like an earthquake)
 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
 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
 I'm a long-distance driller, I'm wild-cattin' the country through
 I'm a long-distance driller,
 and I've been wild-cattin' the country through
 Well, I'm stoppin' wild-cattin' if I bring in this well for you
 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
 I got a reputation and they call me drillin' Slim
 I got a mean reputation and they call me drillin' Slim
 But when I starts to drillin',
 you hear women hollerin', "Too black bad"
