For Chris in Portland.

There was one other I got from Pogo (aka Tom Paxton)in The Village called "Sully's Pail." It is done "a cappella" and is set in the Idaho mines. It is the best mining "song" I know. I asked a mining song singer up in Scranton, PA about it years ago, but he had never heard of it. Pogo recorded it on one of his albums, but he could never find out who wrote it and has been saving the royalty money in escrow in hopes of find the author.
