Ednor Therriault songs
This song is being featured on a compilation CD, 'Montana Matters,' a fundraiser for conservation efforts here in Montana.
Butte has a rich history in our state, and is one of the most interesting cities in America. Lots of that history is covered in this song.
If you ever get up this way, make it a point to tour Butte and see the unique, fascinating attractions and sights it's got to offer. Just don't swim in the Berkeley Pit.
Gonna take a ride down the interstate
Gonna go to Butte and I just can’t wait
I’d like to take a dip in the Berkley Pit
But it’ll cook your goose if you get too near it
Butte has a wild and colorful story
The Copper Kings and boomtown glory
Gold and silver and copper too
But the boom went bust and the bills came due
Chorus
California had the 49ers
Butte had a hundred thousand whores and miners
Used to be the richest hill on earth
But everybody knows what a hole is worth
There’s a big gold nugget in the rock museum
And every kind of rock if you want to see ‘em
At the M&M Bar you’ll never get lonely
But St. Patty’s Day is for professionals only
You want to see something that’s really scary
How about a ninety-foot Virgin Mary
Flowing robes and her hands spread wide
Way up there on the Continental Divide
Chorus
California had the 49ers
Butte had a hundred thousand whores and miners
Used to be the richest hill on earth
But everybody knows what a hole is worth
If you want to take a trip, Butte’s the one
It’s not just fun, it’s Superfund!
