This humourous folksong tells of how 'Jim Goff' is short-changed on pay-day, docked for the 'time he was up in the sky' when a premature blast nearly killed him - a cynical comment on the dangers of quarry-ing with dynamite, and the attitudes towards an expendable workforce. Typical Irish humour.... This performance is by the Occasional Singers for their CD "A Dorset Affair".
