GOLD FEVER

GOLD FEVER
(Charles Blackwell)

You can laugh and you can snicker but I’m gonna be a digger in the mountains gonna strike it rich
I’m a hundred years too late but just put it down to fate and gold fever
So I’m off to California and I think I’d better warn yuh that it make take a little bit of time
Gonna find myself a pan cause I guess I’m just a man with gold fever

Gotta leave yuh gotta leave yuh cause I’ve got a touch of gold fever
Gold fever’s runnin’ through my brain
Gotta leave yuh gotta leave yuh cause I’ve got a touch of gold fever
Gold fever’s runnin’ through my veins

Well I’m goin’ out prospectin’ and I hope you’re not expectin’ me to come back in a week or two
Give me half a dozen years I’ll have nuggets in my ears gold fever (gonna be a rich man)
Got a yearnin’ got a burnin’ and I’ll never be returnin’ till I find gold you’ll never hear from me
I ain’t leavin’ with a stitch just an itch to be rich and gold fever
