Geology Folk Song Medley Lyrics by The Amoeba People

The Fossil Record

0

1. MEANDERING RIVER
Meandering river
You roll on down the plain
Eroding and unloading
The rocks that you find
Until you make an oxbow lake
You know where you're going
Where gravity’s inclined
Just look at all the wonders
That you leave behind
Meandering river and time
2. EMPTY TENTS IN THE VALLEY
Empty tents in the valley
Where did those geologists go?
Are they up on the cliff?
Or down in the schist?
Or floating in that river below?
Empty tents in the valley
Where did those geologists go?
Empty tents in the valley
We may never, ever know
3. MY DARLING TALUS SLOPE
There once was a girl that I courted
And I called her my talus slope
I thought she was my one true love
But she left me and called me a dope
There once was a girl that he courted
And he called her his clastic wedge
But his geologic term of endearment
Finally sent her over the edge
4. DIG IT DIG IT DEEP (THE BATHOLITH SONG)
You gotta dig it dig it deep
(dig it dig it deep)
Dig it down to the pith
(dig it down to the pith)
If you wanna get down
(if you wanna get down)
To the batholith
(to the batholith)
It's like a giant blimp
(like a giant blimp)
In the crust of the planet
(in the crust of the planet)
But you've never seen a blimp
(you’ve never seen a blimp)
Made of rock solid granite
(rock solid granite)
You gotta dig it dig it deep, etc
5. THE OUTCROP IN THE SKY
When our earthly time has run
And we face life's setting sun
We're rollin' to the outcrop in the sky
We might erode or crystallize
Or subduct and orogenize
Or just roll on to the outcrop in the sky
6. MIGHTY FINE HAMMER
Well it's a mighty fine hammer
Ringing through the canyon
It's a mighty fine hammer
Ringin' cross the land
It's a mighty fine hammer
Ringing from the mountain
Ringing out to every
Woman, child and man
No, we’re not going home!
No, we won’t be moved!
We'll keep chippin’ away
We've got something to prove
No, we won't be satisfied!
We'll hammer round the clock
Until we learn that mineral
Composition of the rock!
