Heavy Water Plant Song Lyrics - Celtic Folk

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
