less my heart and soul |
|
I've discovered gold |
|
Spread the news around |
|
Get the ship afloat |
|
A rock and roll the boat |
|
Let's get into town |
|
I am living down by the creek |
|
Getting mired in the mud |
|
No liquor for a week |
|
I feel the cold in my blood |
|
Here's a very busy lady |
|
On her knees in the sludge |
|
Well I do believe she's crazy |
|
You know she's working like a drudge |
|
Bless my heart and soul |
|
She's discovered gold |
|
Spread the news around |
|
Get the ship afloat |
|
A rock and roll the boat |
|
And let's get into town |
|
Even though she smelt like a drain |
|
She's an angel to me |
|
Her intentions are plain |
|
And the whiskey is free |
|
Breaking out another bottle |
|
Keep it cool in the dirt |
|
Well it's a water baby heaven |
|
I got the papers in my shirt |
|
Bless my heart and soul |
|
We've discovered gold |
|
Spread the news around |
|
Get the ship afloat |
|
A rock and roll the boat |
|
And let's get into town |
|
Bless my heart and soul |
|
We've discovered gold |
|
Spread the news around |
|
Get the ship afloat |
|
A rock and roll the boat |
|
And let's get into town |
|
You work hard all your life little honey |
|
But you can't afford to save any money |
|
You lay it down you leave the town |
|
To see what you could find |
|
For more than 20 years you're a diggin' |
|
Then you can't believe what you are a pickin' |
|
It's a piece of change just like a mountain range |
|
Whoopee we're gonna lay it down |
