this one was one was coming along while I wrote the last one, my group the PUI annual river trip is coming in april and we lost one of our members to cancer recently. apologize for the quality on this one is was recorded at work in the SOC studios in Basra on my little martin travel guitar. going to redo it in a couple of weeks when I get home but I wanted to get some input on it I don't like the chorus that much the last line particularly
C G
theres an empty chair now around the fire
Em G D
raise a toast to friends who've gone on higher
like a ship gone down in a hurricane
a body's gone but a spirit remains
in the end your just a memory
one more soul that's finally been set free
friends and family you left behind
one day soon that hill they too shall climb
C D G Em
across that river we must all go one day
C D G Em
the Lord our soul to keep we all pray
C D G
reunion's not that far away
C G
I know you've gone to a better place
Em G D
that's my one and only saving grace
no pain and misery
in that shining light we too shall see
cast a shadow on the face of the deep
peaceful dreams where angels sleep
friends and family left you behind
one day soon that hill we too shall climb
across that river we must all go one day
the lord our soul to keep we all pray
reunions not that far away
reunions not that far away

just listened to the song and watched the vid, looks like a lot of fun, are we to take it that there was a rollover accident? hope everything is OK.
fortunately the driver and passenger were wearing armor made of crown royal and the bloody ear was the only damage. my friend scott can now say he went down the river with a bloody bucken ear

we be pirates one and all we ply our trade up in Arkansas
we rule the river and we rule the waves brothers in arms till we find our graves
chorus
Am C G Am Am G Am
oh we are the brothers of the PUI thick as thieves till the day we die
our name is feared both far and wide we are the brothers of the PUI
and its yo ho ho and a bottle of rum raising hell down the river we come
and its fifteen men on a dead mans chest PUI TO HELL WITH THE REST
chorus
our beards are grey but our hearts are young we paddle our boats and we drink our rum
down the river hear our cannon thunder late at night we loot and plunder

I remember seeing this post a few weeks ago and meaning to come back in here to listen and comment. I'm so glad it's still here, and you didn't remove the recording.
If you have been practicing it since this was posted, I'd love to hear a new recording all polished up!
it has been awhile since I had learned to play that one, I learned it after my bother passed away (man time flies) almost 20 years ago now . it used to get to me when I played it. had not played it in some time , tried a couple of times to learn to sing it but it just never seemed to sound right to me so I gave upon that. that was recorded a while I was at work on my travel guitar , so looks like I will be doing some practicing and redoing on it on my Taylor and see if that makes a difference.

Re: oil field trash
Another excellent piece of story telling through song. I cant wait for the lyrics to be writen up as I am not sure of what a couple of the words were, as they are ones I am not familiar with but I understood and enjoyed the whole song.
Last edited by Peatle Jville (Yesterday 21:45:32)
ords and words later ... maybe...
here ya go Peatle J. I going to say its the bad recording on my lap top here at work and not my Texas drawl for the reason you cant understand all the words.
for any one else not from the south a few definitions
oil field trash - person who makes their living working in the oil field
dooly - 3\4 ton to 1 ton pick up truck with dual wheels on the rear axle
side by side - 2 to 4 seat all terrain vehicle usually pimped out with large tires and stereo systems both of which are way to big, but hey cool as s**t
double wide - one big ass mobile home. two singles are slapped together and bam red neck mansion
ole lady - wife ,girl friend, common law, the person who gets half of what's left
mill - generally in the south means a paper or lumber mill easy to find just follow the smell
just three chords E7, A7, B7
well im staring at the bottom
the bottom of an empty glass
and im sitting on a bar stool
scratching my unemployed ass
well their cleaning house
and their taking out the oil field trash
well the oil field was booming
so I quit my job at the mill
I was living large
singing drill baby drill
but along came the crash
and now their taking out the oil field trash
well the good times were rolling
when the oil hit a hundred and ten
I was spending my money
like I thought it would never end
but along came the crash
now their taking out the oil field trash
well I lost my dooly,
I lost my side by side
and the ole lady left me
when they took my double wide
because their cleaning house
and their taking out the oil field trash
that's the end of my story
its sad but true
well I could have been a rich man
with all the money I blew
but along the crash
and now their taking out the oil field trash
yea their cleaning house
and their taking out the oil field trash
