Lyrics If It'S Good (O8-16-45) - Julia Lee, Lee-Turner

If It'S Good (O8-16-45)

Told my captain
My hands were cold
God damn your hands, boy
Let the wheelin' roll!
Told my captain
My feet were cold
God damn your feet, boy
Let the wheelin' roll!
Captain, captain
You must be blin'
Look at your watch
It’s past quittin' time
Captain, captain
How can it be
Whistle done blow
You still workin' me?
Asked my captain
To give me my time
Dam' old captain
Wouldn’t pay me no mind
If I’d-a had my
Weight in lime
Would’ve whupped that captain
Till he went stone blind
Raised my hand
To wipe the sweat from my head
Damned old captain
Shot my buddy dead
If you don’t believe
That my buddy’s dead
Just look at the hole
In my buddy’s head
Captain walkin' up and down
Buddy’s lyin' on the burning ground
Buzzards circling 'round the sky
Buzzards sure know
Captain’s gonna die
