bill morrissey - oil money (re-recorded) lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m sitting in a bar in morgan city
in the state of louisian’
i’ve just been made a captain of a cargo boat
i worked my way up from deckhand

[verse 2]
well, they take me for a native here
i’ve heard my speech turn soft and slow
but it’s just been five years
snce i came down from new hampshire
to earn my living on the gulf of mexico, mexico

[verse 3]
oil money can lure a man away from home
and i was one of many boys who set off on his own
oil money, a million jobs in the oil trade
a million dollars waiting to be made

[verse 4]
i’ve got friends here who just came down from the pipelinе
i know college boys who work as roustabouts
well, thе hours are long but they say you can’t beat the pay
and that’s what it’s all about

[verse 5]
well, so tonight you’ll find me drinking
i’ll celebrate my promotion then go home
i’ve got a pocket full of change i don’t know what to do with
i’ve got one eye on a bottle and one eye on the pay phone
[verse 6]
h+llo operator, information for new hampshire
no town special, anyone will do
there’s n0body back there left for me to talk with
i just wanna hear the operator talk the way i used to
