Gold Rush

Gold rush, rush for gold
 Precious yellow nuggets
 That are bought and sold
 Man gets an ounce or two for his own
 And he hides it like a dog hides a bone
 Miner breakin' his back
 Got to fill up his sack
 Arms and legs heavy as lead
 But his family needs bread
 His body is ready to drop
 When he gets to the top
 And they make him leave town
 Before the sun goes down
 Dig it up
 Dig it up
 They can't get enough
 Gold rush, rush for gold
 Precious yellow nuggets
 That are bought and sold
 Man gets an ounce or two for his own
 And he hides it like a dog hides a bone
 Dig it up
 Dig it up
 They can't get enough
 Men have died for gold
 And their lives have been sold
 What makes one part of the land
 Worth more than a grain of sand
 If man has a need
 His need he should feed
 But a part of his creed should read
 Forget about greed
 And hold on to the deed
 Hold on to the deed to your soul
 Gold rush, rush for gold
 Precious yellow nuggets
 That are bought and sold
 Man gets an ounce or two for his own
 And he hides it like a dog hides a bone.
