elton britt - uranium fever lyrics
[verse 1]
well i don’t know but i’ve been told
uranium ore is worth more than gold
i sold my cad’ bought me a jeep
i got that bug and i can’t sleep.
[chorus]
uranium fever has done and got me down
uranium fever it’s spreadin’ all around
with a geiger counter in my hand
(i’ma going out to stake me some government land)
uranium fever has done and got me down
[verse 2]
well i had a talk with the aec
and they brought out some maps that look good to me
and one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
so i straddled my jeep and headed down the road
i reckon i drove about a hundred miles
down a b-mpy road out through the wiles
when all of a sudden i bounced to a stop
at the foot of a mountain didn’t have no top
[chorus]
uranium fever has done and got me down
uranium fever it’s spreadin’ all around
with a geiger counter in my hand
(i’ma going out to stake me some government land)
uranium fever has done and got me down
[verse 3]
well i took my geiger and i started to climb
right up to the top where i thought i’d find
a hunk of rock that’d make it click
just like i’d read about vernon pick
on the second day i made the top
and i’m telling you steve i was ready to stop
the only clicking that i heard that day
was the bones in my back that’d gone astray
[chorus]
uranium fever has done and got me down
uranium fever it’s spreadin’ all around
with a geiger counter in my hand
(i’ma going out to stake me some government land)
uranium fever has done and got me down
[verse 4]
well you pack up your things you head out again
to some unknown spot where n-bodies been
you reach the spot where your fortune lies
you find it’s been staked by seventeen other guys
well i ain’t kiddin’ i ain’t gonna quit
that bugs done caught me and i’ve been bit
so with a geiger counter and a pick in my hand
i’ll keep right on staking that government land
[chorus]
uranium fever has done and got me down
uranium fever it’s spreadin’ all around
with a geiger counter in my hand
(i’ma going out to stake me some government land)
uranium fever has done and got me down
