Golden Hair

I was born one hundred years after the Rush of Forty Nine
To a Northern Ontario Gold Miner who said Son go find yourself a Mine
I always felt so useless around his place I was always in the way
The day I left Larder Lake I remember hearing him say

Son go find some Gold out there
Son go find some Gold out there

Well I had a good education and I knew a computer Trick or Two
At first I didn't look for Gold but that's what I was finally forced to do
Now that's when I met her the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen
People told me that they loved her they wished she was their Queen
I called her Golden Hair Golden Hair Golden Hair

She said to me
I think I see some Gold in you
She said
I think I see some Gold in you

Now these words they were so simple but I would not understand
My father had always told me the Gold is in the Land
In mountains desert hills in streams or under the sea
But never had my father told me there was any GOLD in ME
And sometimes I cried daddy dad
I love you dad I love you Daddy

Now we headed out into the Desert Hills where I found ourselves a mine
And she toiled along beside me underground we were almost blind
A Strike that's what we needed we had time for one more blast
And when the dust finally cleared in my hand was Gold at last

And I cried to her Golden Hair Golden Hair Golden Hair
We'd better run for the entrance now it's caving in on us
I cried run for the entrance now it's caving in on us
The pain the pain oh the pain I felt the pain

Now at the funeral Parlor at her coffin that lay there
I hide that gold in those hands I kissed that Golden Hair
Then I turned I saw my father he'd come to comfort me
My father was a gold miner and now the surprise you see

Yah my father found the Gold in me
Yes my father found the Gold in me
Yes father found the gold in me
Father found gold in me
Yes my father found the gold in me yah
