Gold Fever
I would give the world to see
How I used to be
When I had no axe to grind
Except for chopping wood
Day was day, and night was night
Wrong was never right
Didn't matter where I went
As much as where I stood
I had dreams, average size
There were stars in the skies
not my eyes
Then I got
Gold fever!
No romp 'n rollin' girl and fellow stuff
Can cure the
Gold fever
Nothin' can help you
But the yellow stuff
What
can stop that itchin'?
Ain't!
Around the kitchen
Gold, gold, hooked am I
Susannah, go ahead and cry
Once we all did honest work
Farmer, lawyer, clerk
Married men, and single men
And some who ain't too sure
Now I look at them and see
Duplicates of me
Cured of what we suffered from
And sufferin' from the cure
Who can say, why we came?
Where's the hope, where's the flame?
We're the same
When you've got
Gold fever!
No romp 'n rollin' girl and fellow stuff
Can cure the
gold fever
Nothin' can help you
But the yellow stuff
What
can stop that itchin'?
Ain't!
Around the kitchen
Gold, gold, hooked am I
Susannah, go ahead and cry
Gold fever
Gold fever
Gold fever
Gold fever
Gold fever
Deal!
How I used to be
When I had no axe to grind
Except for chopping wood
Day was day, and night was night
Wrong was never right
Didn't matter where I went
As much as where I stood
I had dreams, average size
There were stars in the skies
not my eyes
Then I got
Gold fever!
No romp 'n rollin' girl and fellow stuff
Can cure the
Gold fever
Nothin' can help you
But the yellow stuff
What
can stop that itchin'?
Ain't!
Around the kitchen
Gold, gold, hooked am I
Susannah, go ahead and cry
Once we all did honest work
Farmer, lawyer, clerk
Married men, and single men
And some who ain't too sure
Now I look at them and see
Duplicates of me
Cured of what we suffered from
And sufferin' from the cure
Who can say, why we came?
Where's the hope, where's the flame?
We're the same
When you've got
Gold fever!
No romp 'n rollin' girl and fellow stuff
Can cure the
gold fever
Nothin' can help you
But the yellow stuff
What
can stop that itchin'?
Ain't!
Around the kitchen
Gold, gold, hooked am I
Susannah, go ahead and cry
Gold fever
Gold fever
Gold fever
Gold fever
Gold fever
Deal!
