Wonder if anybody else remembers the song and knows if it has ever been recorded anywhere? Tried a forum search with no luck at all. Any other 'Catter with info or a memory better than mine? MarkS |

Steamshovel, bury her Steamshovel, bury her Down where her soul will sleep Down where her soul will sleep Steamshovel Steamshovel

The version I have in mind is somewhat bawdy, involving "The great steamshovel strike of 1956" and a freelance steamshoveling fool. As played by Rush and Bromberg it brought the house down. MarkS |
