The River Shore

My parents came from Ireland they shun an gorta mor
And they ended up in Seattle where I was born
I grew up on the mud only counting on my fist and my mind
But I'm leavin' for a land where gold have been found

Living free, never worry by lockin' ya door
Sleep and die next to the river shore
I don't need more

It' been two weeks that i travelled, I'm feelin very cold
But soon I'll be a rich man with hands filled of gold
I've crossed the Chilkoot pass and I'm dreamin' of a bed
I hope i'll find a boat to cross the lake

Living free, never worry by lockin' ya door
Sleep and die next to the river shore
I don't need more

My boat capsized in the water, I was beaten by the Klondike
My bones were crushed by rocks, my body pushed on the border
I can't scream I'm gonna die
But I'm thinkin' of a story I heard lately
In Dawson city by the river there is a girl
Who put a diamond between her teeth

Living free, never worry by lockin' ya door
Sleep and die next to the river shore
I don't need more

Living free, never worry by lockin' ya door
Sleep and die next to the river shore
I don't need more

Living free, never worry by lockin' ya door
Sleep and die next to the river shore
I don't need more
Living free
