Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Mt St Helens eruption, Harry Truman song
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...
