King of the Shovel Runners
BY LARRY PECK
What's the matter stranger?
You look like you had a bad night.
Sit down and I’ll tell you a story.
And you can bet your last buck that it’s right.
It’s about a Shovel-Runner I Worked with
In the land of the Midnight Sun.
We were digging for Tin in the Tundra.
Believe me, it wasn’t much fun.
We worked for the Amercian Tin Fields,
Over a hundred miles above Nome.
And every’ damn shift I put in there,
Good God, how I’d wisih I were home.
Now this runner's name was Skud Johnson,
Just a young, rough lad, thirty-three.
He could work the teeth off a Buevrus,
And was wilder than Hell on a spree.
He came from t)he town of Ellen.sburg
You know, ,pal, just East of the Hump.
But because he hailed from a small burg.
Don’t think this lad was a chump
I've seen him worked on by some wise ones.
You know, the kind that play the track.
But When it came time for the pay-off.
It was them that was holding the sack.
Say, pal, if you don't mind my asking; *
My throat’s getting pretty dry.
A shot of grog wouldn’t go bad.
Thanks a lot; I didn't figure on rye!
That’s damn fine whiskey, pal.
Bet that bottle cost a fin.
Its been years since I've drank this stuff,
I can’t go for more than gin.
Well to get along with my story " .
Of Tin City’s shovelin’ ace.
J never have yet seen a runner,
Who could keep up with that hellion pace.
I've seen him in purty hard diggin,
With a truck on both sides of his rig.
It's then that he'd really start diggin’, .
And the boom would be dancing a jig.
I’ve seen him working that shovel
In bedrock hard as Hell.
But things didn't come to tuff for Skud,
He’d just laugh and say it was swell.
I’ve heard him balling out drivers,
For pulling in wrong with a truck.
But, if they put ’em in reach of the bucket,
They were soon loaded with tin-laden muck.
.yf? |
He’s been known to be walking a shovel.
And pal, you can bet these are facts.
Digging a ditch over six feet deep.
And never stopping the tracks.
He’s walked that rig over Tundra,
Scorning tihe use of a pad.
And I’ve wondered what kept him sinking from sight,
1 sometimes think he was mad!
But 1 guess Skud knew his Bucyrus,
Pulling levers to him was a joy.
He’d sometimes play with that shovel,
As a child will play with a toy.
If anything bro’<e or his play-toy,
That needed an electric arc.
He'd hustle the welder right to her
And at welding this guy was a shark.
1 remember one night it was snowing,
Skud was welding a broken track frame.
The break was a hard one to get to.
But he put a machine weld to shame.
Ye«. pal, I could go on forever,
Telling of this runner's fame.
So thanks, I can stand another.
You see, I’ve got to catch a plane.
I'm going to ride out a manifest,
If I have to ride a gondola of mud.
I’m headin’ over to Ellensburg,
And go out on a job with Skud.
