The Lyrics
Swell swelt’ring smelter crew
melds by the mines.
It’s hellish for these fellas, too.
Yelling, crying;
some fell, down lying.
Ain’t swell, they melt, damn near;
some, unwell, have found
that the smell is damn queer—
post-work, pell-mell. . .skedaddle to town
far from the yellow plumes
belched from the mines. . .
squelch rhin.
I tell you,
hell comes to
this swell crew;
yellow hue all around.
They sell souls to share
welter of bounty
and put belts down:
[Rebel] Yell whiskey.
Shelter for smelter crew’s
felt well-belts time.
melds by the mines.
It’s hellish for these fellas, too.
Yelling, crying;
some fell, down lying.
Ain’t swell, they melt, damn near;
some, unwell, have found
that the smell is damn queer—
post-work, pell-mell. . .skedaddle to town
far from the yellow plumes
belched from the mines. . .
squelch rhin.
I tell you,
hell comes to
this swell crew;
yellow hue all around.
They sell souls to share
welter of bounty
and put belts down:
[Rebel] Yell whiskey.
Shelter for smelter crew’s
felt well-belts time.
