Prospector
Got no roots in the delta
But I got muscle soul
Left my spirit in the Midwest
Cleveland, O-hio
Rushin' out to California
49-er miner for that gold
With a pick ax and a hammer
And holes in both my shoes
Left a lover in Atlanta
Slipped out of that noose
Hitched up to that wagon
I ain't no ball and chain gang
At the mouth of the dragon
Firewater coursin' thru my veins
Call me the prospector,
Ain't no bone collector,
Chasin' that carrot like a rabbit
Down the hole
Ain't no, greed creature
Just a, yellow preacher, ohh
Ahh! 49-er miner for that gold!
Traded a Couple grams for a saddle,
Few more for a whore,
You can hear that rattle-snake,
The wolf is at the door
Diggin thru the mountain,
Breathin' in the black
Thru the valley of the hostiles,
Just pray I make it back
Trail o' hell to heaven,
When the Bible is
Poor Richard's Almanac
Call me the prospector,
Ain't no bone collector,
Chasin' that carrot like a rabbit
Down the hole
Ain't no, greed creature
Just a, yellow preacher, ohh
Ahh! 49-er miner for that gold!
