Subject: RE: Lyr Req: diesel fitters song Ewan McColl
G'day ossnflags,
I was sure I had posted this, a few years back ... but there are quite a few of my postings that have not yet made it into the DT. I was going to check from a search on my postings - but the new design Mudcat puts that up as 10 separate pages, and it's just too hard to search ten pages before lunch ends!
Anyway, Nutty has got the words there - and you know the tune. Enjoy!
As I mentioned, in the DT Study thread - "Hot Ash-pelt", this is personal favourite for me ... particularly since I worked in the big construction game, in Australia - in the '60s, with a lot of Pommy and Irish types very like those about whom Ewan wrote that song.
