An Accordion Tune To Learn "BY EAR"

Lyrics:
|
Dem big blue trucks, dem roll through town,
Dem checkin to see if any wires blowed down, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) Dem rough and tough, dem don't mind the cold,\ Dem driving along, dem checkin every pole, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) Dem come from far, dem come from near, Dem gather every morning down in Carbonear, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) Dem pass my place about quarter to nine, Dem gone all day, dem checking the lines, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) Dem have machines to dig a hole, It don't take dem long to stick a forty foot pole Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) Dem on stand-by day and night To make sure we don't lose our light, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) Rain or shine, sleet or snow, Twelve months a year they're on the go, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) A thunder storm they don't mind that, They climb the poles like a pussy cat, Dem the Light and Power boys. (Dem the Light and Power boys.) |
Embedded youTube VIDEO
This is a fine tune and song, and an outstanding performance by Mark Hiscock. I am surprised that it hasn't been covered on youTube by other performers. Thus I have included only one embedded video - featuring Mark himself.
