20 Feb 01 - 10:08 AM (#402143) Subject: Fireman From: The Dane Hello all I recently heard a song about a Canadian firefighter who died while trying to fight a wildfire in the start of the century. Do anyone know this song? I believe the first lines go something like My name is .... I'm a fireman Any information (as well as lyrics and/or chords) will be appreciated. Jacob from Denmark |

My name is Dodge, but then you know that; It's written on the chart there at the foot end of the bed They think I'm blind, I can't read it. I've read it every word, And every word it says is death; So, Confession Is that the reason that you came? Get it off my chest before I check out of the game; Since you mention it, well, there's thirteen things I'll name, Thirteen crosses high above the cold Missouri waters. I hope this is enough to get you started. |

It's a brilliant version! The CD also includes a recording of REM's 'Fall on Me'. Pretty great altogether! |
