| Took my fam’ly away from my Carolina home
|
| Had dreams about the West and started to roam
|
| Six long months on a dust covered trail
|
| They say heaven’s at the end but so far it’s been hell
|
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
|
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there
|
| We were diggin' and siftin' from five to five
|
| Sellin' everything we found just to stay alive
|
| Gold flowed free like the whiskey in the bars
|
| Sinnin' was the big thing, lord and Satan was his star
|
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
|
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there
|
| Dance hall girls were the evenin' treat
|
| Empty cartridges and blood lined the gutters of the street
|
| Men were shot down for the sake of fun
|
| Or just to hear the noise of their forty-four guns
|
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
|
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there
|
| Now my widow she weeps by my grave
|
| Tears flow free for her man she couldn’t save
|
| Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
|
| All for a useless and no good worthless claim
|
| And there’s fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
|
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there
|
| Fire on the mountain, lightnin' in the air
|
| Gold in them hills and it’s waitin' for me there
|
| Waitin' for me there |
