歌曲歌詞
I've a thing or two ta tell ya
That I think you ought to know
About that rusty bucket Sully carries down below
You're not the first one stranger
That has laughed at Sully's Pail;
You're the only one that's laughing now
The rest has heard this tale
Sure when we was young and handsome
Had ten years in the game
Old Sull he had a partner and Jim Rielly was his name
They had knocked about together
Bingham Butte and Coeur D'Alene
And they brawled in every bar-room
From Ely to Fort McLean
Now me and old Ted Johnson
Sure you'll not remember him
We was working at the Rarus
Had a stope with Sull and Jim
The four of us together
We was working side-by-side
That's how I chanced to be there
On the night Jim Reilly died
Well the blastin' had been easy
It was coming out like sand
And we was muckin' out the ore
Those days we mucked by hand
And we was nearly finished
And I hadn't heard a sound
But something must have happened
For Jim Reilly yelled "Bad ground "
When we headed for the timb'ring
Sully must've took a spill
