Gibbonsville Gold |
My name is Bill Harlan. |
I’m a God fearin' man |
From the lost rebel army, a Tennessee Calvary man |
From Shilo to Nashville we made our last stand |
When the battles were over, everythin' we had was gone with the wind |
But I still had my family and a hope and a dream |
And I heard of gold fever and the Rocky Mountain streams |
So we took what we had and some gold diggin' gear |
And we headed for a new life on the Northwest frontier |
Montana Territory where the winters are cold |
The lands full of game and the creeks are full of gold |
Just west of the mountains is a town they call Gibbonsville |
You can sure get gold fever, you can damn sure get killed |
But I staked my claims, I was rarin' to go |
I’ve made up my mind and I set out to find the Gibbonsville (D)gold |
Oh, you find just a little, just enough to get by |
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why |
There’s a whole lot more down there, I don’t have to be told |
I’ve made up my mind and I’m gonna find that Gibbonsville gold |
Every morning at daylight with a pick and a pan |
Keep an eye out for the blackfeet. |
Keep a rifle near hand |
Back shooters and grizzlies, better stay alert all the time |
'Cause the only law here in this wild country is the gun and the knife |
In the year of our Lord, eighteen sixty-nine |
I lost my dear son to a cave-in at the mine |
Yes I know he’s gone please God rest his soul |
So many have died trying to find this damned Gibbonsville gold |
Yeah, you find just a little, just enough to get by |
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why |
Then someone finds a nugget, just as big as your thumb |
And we all go hard at it from sun until sun |
Yeah I got to find it, that main mother load |
I’ve made up my mind and I swear to find that Gibbonsville gold |
There’s a whole lot more down there, my share of that main mother load |
I’ve made up my mind and I swear to find the Gibbonsville gold |
