Guys and Dolomite
Nicely-Nicely:
Who's playing with the Rocks.
I'll tell you whose playing with the rocks
A mortar mason man who has come to understand
He must sacrifice everything and give up laying blocks
That's whose playing with the Rocks
Benny:
What's with the dry stone walls?
I'll tell you what's with the dry stone walls
Its just that they don't crack and fall
Like a brick or block wall
That's what's up with dry stone walls.
Nicely-Nicely:
What's happening all over?
I'll tell you what's happening all over,
Guys who used watch TV, drive round looking for walls now and have to pull over
That's what's happening all over
Nicely-Nicely and Benny:
Beauty is the thing that calls them.
Every guy wants to be the craftsman who 'walls' them
Nicely-Nicely:
Yes sir, When you see a guy, giving stone walls the eye
You can bet that he's thinking to give it a try
Benny:
When you spot a Glenn, working out in the rain,
Chances are he's insane, as only a Scot would be, for a 'stane'
Nicely-Nicely:
When you meet a jock, paying attention to rocks
building walls, other's view with delight
Nicely-Nicely and Benny:
Call it sad, call it funny,
But it's better than even money,
That the guy is building with dolomite.
Benny:
When you see a Joe, stacking stones in a row
You can bet, that he's built some sort of wall.
Nicely-Nicely:
When a bum spends time, with a level and line
It's a cinch, he'll have fun ,he's only begun to unwind.
Benny:
When you meet a Bob, lately quitting his job
And he's starts lifting stones day and night
Nicely-Nicely and Benny:
Call it hell, call it heaven,
It's a probable twelve to seven,
That he's walling with some dolomite.
Benny:
When you see a Bert, with a truck load of dirt,
You can bet that he's banking it with some wall.
Nicely-Nicely:
When a guy's worst tales, is of hammers and nails
It's just that he's tense, using wood's an offence
Benny:
When a lazy old slob, makes stone walling his job,
And he works from the spring to late fall
Nicely-Nicely and Benny:
Call it dumb, call it clever,
Ah, but you can give odds forever,
That the guy's using dolomite in his wall,
His wall, his wall his wall
That the guy's using dolomite in his wall.
