CHORUS |
|
Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye-bye |
|
Stake out your claim now on some other guy |
|
I've wined you and dined you till my money is gone |
|
But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on. |
|
Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine |
|
You spent my money like I was a mine |
|
But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone |
|
So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on. |
|
You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big |
|
But now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig |
|
Well, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time |
|
This old gravy train is at the end of the line. |
|
CHORUS |
|
You've been out prospecting all around on the side |
|
But this old mule now, has had his last ride |
|
So start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is gone |
|
The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on. |
|
CHORUS |
