GUEST,Peter Marcus Lyr Req/Add: 42 Barrels of Oil a Day (23) RE: Lyr Req/Add: 42 Barrels of Oil a Day 09 Jul 15

Dear all,

I realise this thread started 13 years ago in 2002, but I've only just come across it. So, on the assumption that anyone's still interested, can I just say that I came across this song being played in a record shop in Camden Lock (London) c.1980, and, on that basis, bought the 45 there and then. I haven't got it in front of me - I'm not at home right now - but I vaguely recall that the singer was someone called Tiny Murphy - I don't think anyone's mentioned him yet. (I shall check when I get home.)

I know the lyrics well, and I think that "Guest999" (above, c.2013) has got it pretty much spot on, other than a couple of very minor typos.

It's a brilliant song!

Best wishes,

- Peter Marcus
