Now in 1859,
Way out in Western Pennsylvania,
a man had built a rig...
that got some laughs
from folks who came there.
But suddenly, a mighty roar
came up from under the ground.
And soon a gusher, gushing oil,
soaked all who stood around.
Now no one knew
when that gusher blew...
the petroleum years were on us...
Or that so many cars and trucks
would come to cause a crisis.
