Heavy Water Plant Song Lyrics

                    Heavy Water Plant 
  
  
            I left my home at a quarter to ten 
            I headed for the Heavy Water Plant 
            Haven't worked since Heaven's knows when 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
            Well I picked me pogey up at George Street 
            And I headed for the bank on the corner 
            Well new life seems to come to me feet 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
            Pogey cash well into me hand 
            I headed for the nearest tavern 
            Jesus, I'm the king of the land 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
            I took a table down at the back 
            I order two, by Christ I was thirsty 
            Finished them off at the very first crack 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
            In walks MacNeil from Margaree 
            He must have got his pogey yesterday 
            He's so drunk he can hardly see 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
            Pogey Cash Well into me hand 
            I headed for the nearest tavern 
            Jesus, I'm the king of the land 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
                   [fiddle solo] 
  
            Oh.. well it's four o'clock..oh, and much to my
sorrow 
            I should have tried the Heavy Water Plant 
            Ah, t'hell I'll go tommorrow 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
  
            I left me home at a quarter to ten 
            I headed for the Heavy Water Plant 
            Haven't worked since Heaven's know when 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton 
            Singing the Song of Cape Breton
