GUEST,steve burke Lyr Add: Mt St Helens eruption, Harry Truman song (29) RE: Lyr Add: Mt St Helens eruption, Harry Truman song 31 Oct 18


Here's the first verse as I remember it, learned it from a friend in Wisconsin:

G
Gonna tell you a story about old Harry Tee
                                                   D
Might of read it in your paper or seen it on your TV
                G                         C
He lived on the mountain up by old Spirit Lake
       G                        D                      G
but the place where he built his cabin was his first mistake
                   C                     G
Was his first mistake was his first mistake
                               D                      G
The place where he built his cabin was his first mistake

The graduate students and the PHD's
Said it all gonna blow, and she won't say please





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...
