Great Lakes Metal Detecting

GLMD Blues

Metal detecting's just fine, when the diggings are good
But my dang machine's busted-it aint doin what it should
The thing keeps telling me I got me a large copper cent
But the pulltab I just dug aint gonna help pay the rent
Up early in the morning at the first crack of dawn
Looking for clad on somebody's newly mowed lawn

Got them knee bending, dirty, Great Lakes Metal Detecting blues
Til you spent the winter here buddy you just aint gotta clue

Cant make any money on what I aint gonna find
Its really making me crazy, I'm losing my mind
The ground's getting hard, I cant dig anymore
Back stabbin landlord's bout to show me the door
Gonna sell all the finds that I dug up in the past
They just turned off the heat,gotta sell em real fast

Got them knee bending, dirty, Great Lakes Metal Detecting blues
Til you spent the winter here buddy,you just aint gotta clue

Gonna get me one of them new beeping Aussie machines
With what I dig up, I'll have a fist full of greens
But I aint got no money--- tell you the reason why
Cause everyone's selling, and they don't wanna buy.
So I got me some pencils and I got me a tin cup
I'm sittin on the corner, drop by and look me up

Got them knee bending, dirty, Great Lakes Metal Detecting blues
Til you spent the winter here buddy,you just aint gotta clue
