On the first day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
A sore throat and a dead tree

On the second day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the third day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the fourth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the fifth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the sixth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the seventh day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Seven sores a-forming
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the eighth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Eight streams a-poisoned
Seven sores a-forming
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the ninth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Nine tumors growing
Eight streams a-poisoned
Seven sores a-forming
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the tenth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Ten palpitations
Nine tumors growing
Eight streams a-poisoned
Seven sores a-forming
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the eleventh day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Eleven truckers trucking
Ten palpitations
Nine tumors growing
Eight streams a-poisoned
Seven sores a-forming
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree

On the twelfth day of fracking
My gas well gave to me
Twelve drillers drilling
Eleven truckers trucking
Ten palpitations
Nine tumors growing
Eight streams a-poisoned
Seven sores a-forming
Six dogs a-dying
Five sleepless nights
Four coughing kids
Three sick cats
Two nosebleeds
And a sore throat and a dead tree
