Prospector's Blues |
| I been swinging this hammer for a mighty long time |
| What I wouldn’t give for a nickel and a dime |
| I was up there in the hills where the colored bands run |
| Fanning cross the mountain and a shining in the sun |
| I came across a mountain it was leaning tall |
| One wrong look and she was bound to fall |
| But I couldn’t resist where my fortune lie |
| Now I’m bound to get rich if I keep from dyin' |
| Well I keep on chipping and a chipping away |
| There’s a little more gold left here today |
| All I got to do is just pull it right from the ground |
| And every time I take a little piece I know |
| I’m toeing the line with the ol pick hoe |
| And sooner or later this whole thing is coming down |
| Well I heard a little crack, heard a creak, and moan |
| Sounded like thunder and it shook me to the bone |
| Just got a little bit more to go |
| Ten thousand dollars and I’m headed back home |
| I finally had my fill I was on my way |
| And that mountain started falling as I ran and I prayed |
| Lord if you let me make it out alive |
| I’ll never chase another poke for my whole damn life |
| Well I keep on chipping and a chipping away |
| There’s a little more gold left here today |
| All I got to do is just pull it right from the ground |
| And every time I take a little piece I know |
| I’m toeing the line with the ol pick hoe |
| And sooner or later this whole thing is coming down |
| Well I keep on chipping and a chipping away |
| There’s a little more gold left here today |
| All I got to do is just pull it right from the ground |
| And every time I take a little piece I know |
| I’m toeing the line with the ol pick hoe |
| And sooner or later this whole thing is coming down |
