Digger Dave was a friend of mine
Digger Dave was a friend of mine
Got himself into a bit of a mess one time
Minding his business and drinking his wine
When he heard a shotgun blast
It wasn't anything he hadn't heard before
But then that girl Christine come crying through the door
Screaming "Yukon Jack told me to get rid of this thing and fast"
Yukon Jack and Digger Dave
They sound like a couple of names that I just made up
But I'm telling you this is the truest story that I tell
She set down the gun, took off running
And Digger Dave followed her and they soon come up on
That death wish kid from Michigan
Laying there shot up all to hell
He'd had a death wish since he'd come up here from the lower 48
And they'd been up drinking vodka now for two days straight
When the first fight started, it was way too late
For anyone to keep in the peace
No one could remember what the fight was about
But by all accounts that kid pulled the first gun out
Defense, self-defense, beyond a shadow of a doubt
Is what they all agreed to tell the police
Digger Dave said "Y'all are on your own with this"
He walked over to AJ's, drank himself half pissed
Cop yellow tape was strung out all over the place
When he finally come back out
A victim of circumstance if ever there was one
The last time I saw him he said that he had just done
A year and a half of what he called
Letting a crazy bitch in his house
Got a new song though
Say, say something like
Crazy woman blues, crazy woman blues
Crazy woman blues
I never, never, never let you into my house
Crazy woman blues, crazy woman blues
Crazy woman blues
Only one way to know how far is just far enough
You gotta go a little bit too far and then back up
And hope hard luck ain't on your side
Town council had already agreed to meet
About all of the drinking down there on Brunel Street
