作曲 : Gordon
Way down in the valley 
On a dusty road 
old man with a pick and shovel 
searchin for the mother lode 
Seekin' fame and fortune 
A little peace of mind 
It's a tale of a man's gold fever 
back in '49 
Livin' out of a tin shack 
Out on the trail 
Nothin' more than a mule pack 
And a miners tale 
Fever for gold 
He's got fever for gold 
Left east on a callin' 
Don't wash again 
Travelled west to a boomtown 
Had to stake a claim 
Never known as a big man 
Had the heart of ten 
left the wife and family 
Together they'd be again. 
Chorus 
Hidin' out on the hillside 
Lookin' out below 
Heard the voice of old St. Peter 
All this time ago 
He went in town with a preacher 
On the judgement day 
He took a swing and it all came falling 
He knew he just rocked the vein
Yeah 
Chorus
