Description:
It's all about working in the mines. A jackleg drill weights about 80 pounds loaded with the with the leg. it's dangerous to operate because it runs by air pressure and it can crush you against a wall and kill you if your not careful. Many miners were it's statistic. I operate one when I worked in the mine I know. Check out my Death at the Belmoral mine in Val D'Or P.Q. song on youtube also. When you work in the mine you take your life in your hands Breaking the rock and work as fast as you can It's an eight hour shift to drill an eight foot round Slavin like a dog a thousand feet underground At two thousand feet with the devil you bond You gotta make the footage or your bonus is gone Your nuthin but a miner till the day that you die Livin like a mole for the rest of your life Tryin to pay your bills cause the Wolf's at your door The Finance company's the world's biggest whore And when pay day come you take the cage to daylight You pick up your money and walk away from the mine Chorus: Well it's the Jackleg boogie (Jackleg boogie) Well it's the Jackleg boogie at the Dome mine all shift long Verse: Now you muck out your round with your muckin machine Connect all the hoses for the air that you'll need You lay down your track and then you start to drill Slap down the lever and shake and you reel Then you dance all around with your boots on your feet You do the Jackleg boogie and send the orr to the mill Chorus: end.
