letra de farewell to the gold - paul metsers

Loading...

[verse 1]
shotover river, your gold it is waning
it’s weeks since the colour i’ve seen
but it’s no use just sitting and lady luck blaming
so i’ll pack up and make the break clean

[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see you gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground
[verse 2]
well, it’s nearly two years since i left my old mother
for adventure and gold by the pound
with jimmy the prospector—he was another
for the hills of otago was bound

[chorus]
farewell to thе gold that never i found
goodbye to thе nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see you gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[verse 3]
we worked the cardrona’s dry valley all over
old jimmy williams and me
but they were panning good dirt on the winding shotover
so we headed down there just to see

[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see you gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[verse 4]
we sluiced and we cradled for day after day
making hardly enough to get by
until a terrible flood swept poor jimmy away
during six stormy days in july
[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see you gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[verse 1]
shotover river, your gold it is waning
it’s weeks since the colour i’ve seen
but it’s no use just sitting and lady luck blaming
so i’ll pack up and make the break clean

[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see you gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground
