Dingbat Diller

Lyrics

[Intro] Oh, looking for the black black gold [Verse 1] Well you can sing about your cowboys and Casey Jones And talk about the miners of old But here's to Dingbat Diller, that phantom driller A wild cat man when the search began for the Black black liquid [Chorus] So when you hear them sledges ringin' Hear him do his drone When the bull wheels run low Don't cuss, don't drumble Dingbat's a-comin' down a corduroy road And you found that black black gold [Verse 2] Diller wore a derby and laced up boots And when he hollered, them derricks rolled Splice cable, start riggin', dress a bit, we are diggin' We hit another gusher before sundown Lookin' for the black black gold [Verse 3] One day Diller, he drilled so deep That he hit the old devil's hold Had a firey blast, and up to heaven But the waters in the well quenched the fires of hell And filled it with a black black gold [Chorus] So when you hear them sledges ringin' Hear him do his drone When the bull wheels run low Don't cuss, don't drumble Dingbat's a-comin' down a corduroy road And you found that black black gold [Verse 3] Saint Peter gave him wings and a derby crown And welcomed him to the heavenly folk He said "Well a-look a-here Diller, you're a mighty fine driller Will you go back down to help the folks on the ground?" To find that black black gold [Verse 4] Now down in the beavers when the horn is high There's a ghost with a derby we're told So if you don't despair, and just believe he's there Then your Dingbat dreams rises up in a stream Of the black black gold [Chorus] So when you hear them sledges ringin' Hear him do his drone When the bull wheels run low Don't cuss, don't drumble Dingbat's a-comin' down a corduroy road And you found that black black gold [Outro] And you found that black black gold And you found that black black gold And you found that black black gold
