Celtic Folk - Heavy Water Plant Song lyrics

I left my home at a quarter to ten

I headed for the Heavy Water Plant

Haven't worked since Heaven's knows when

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

Well I picked me pogey up at George Street

And I headed for the bank on the corner

Well new life seems to come to me feet

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

Pogey cash well into me hand

I headed for the nearest tavern

Jesus, I'm the king of the land

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

I took a table down at the back

I order two, by Christ I was thirsty

Finished them off at the very first crack

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

In walks MacNeil from Margaree

He must have got his pogey yesterday

He's so drunk he can hardly see

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

Pogey Cash Well into me hand

I headed for the nearest tavern

Jesus, I'm the king of the land

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

[fiddle solo]

Oh.. well it's four o'clock..oh, and much to my

sorrow

I should have tried the Heavy Water Plant

Ah, t'hell I'll go tommorrow

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

I left me home at a quarter to ten

I headed for the Heavy Water Plant

Haven't worked since Heaven's know when

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

Singing the Song of Cape Breton

Singing the Song of Cape Breton
