Thread Name: Lyr Add: Mt St Helens eruption, Harry Truman song
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mt St Helens eruption, Harry Truman song
While attending Folk Life Festival in Seattle one year there was a band who played a Harry Truman, Mt Saint Helens ballad. Then a cassette tape came out of 4 Washington State Ballads on it. This song was one of them. If anyone can guide me to who sang this Harry Truman/ Mt Saint Helen Song I would be so appreciative...

I remember part of the word to the St. Helen's song

Harry what you going to do when the old girl blows
Stick your fingers in your ears
Going to hold your nose
Going to head for the hills w/a bottle in your hand
Going to ride that old volcano to the promise land.

Harry Truman was a man w/a mind of his own
Upon St Helen he built him a home
He build him a home way out on a lake
That place he built his home was his first mistake.

The scientist came w/there PHD's
Said the girls going to blow and she won't say please
etc etc etc...   

That is about all I remember. So please help fill in the gaps.
Thank you
