I post the late Guy Clark's song's often. Not only because I like his songs a lot, but because he honestly did not get the acclaim he deserved.

he like others: John Hiatt, Mose Allison, Dixie Dregs, are better known inside the business than they are outside of the business.

This one was covered by Jimmy Buffet. Here is the original:

Boats to Build -- Guy Clark

White Collar Holler
By Stan Rogers

Well, I rise up every morning at a quarter to eight
Some woman who's my wife tells me not to be late
I kiss the kids goodbye, I can't remember their names
And week after week, it's always the same

And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in the life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line

Then it's code in the data, give the keyboard a punch
Then cross-correlate and break for some lunch
Correlate, tabulate, process and screen
Program, printout, regress to the mean

And it's Ho, boys, can't you code it, and program it right
Nothing ever happens in the life of mine
I'm hauling up the data on the Xerox line

Thanks Fiji! Had to look him up as I was not familiar with him. Undoubtedly this song was known to Van Morrison and I would not be surprised if he took a cue from ti to write his own song on cleaning windowa.

Good evening, fatima, and thank you for today's Tell Us Your Favorite "Workin' or Playin'" Songs.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

My all-time favorite work song is Push Boat. It's an old American song sung by Jake Xerxes Fussell. I just love Americana music and this one tells a simple story of three guys (the singer, Pete and Lazy Sam) "goin' up Big Sandy" on a push boat. Wonderful story-telling, singing and music.

"Oh, the weather
The weather's mighty hot, boys
Blisters on my feet
Working on a push boat
To buy my bread and meat"

As a teen in Dayton, OH we had a teen club in the lower level of a shopping center.

The stage was 12” high so we were “right there”.

Saw the Vogues, Hollies, Simon&Garfunkle...and many more top groups at the time.

The warm-up group before S&G (and stayed on as the backing band) was a local group called the McCoys (”Hang on Sloopy”). They were led by singer/guitarist Rick Zehringer who later moved to LA & changed his name to Rick Derringer who became a highly acclaimed musician in his own right playing Steely Dan among others.

I posted this one as a side bar a few weeks ago, but it is now more appropriate for this thread.

Great tribute to those hard working miners!
