《Farewell to the Gold》歌词

[00:00:00] Farewell to the Gold - Gordon Bok/Ann Mayo Muir/Ed Trickett

[00:00:23] Shotover river your gold it is waning

[00:00:29] It's weeks since the colour I've seen

[00:00:35] No use just sitting

[00:00:38] And Lady Luck blaming

[00:00:41] I'll pack up and make the break clean

[00:00:46] Farewell to the gold that never I found

[00:00:52] Goodbye to the nuggets

[00:00:55] That somewhere abound

[00:00:58] For it's only when dreaming

[00:01:01] That I see you gleaming

[00:01:04] Down in the dark deep underground

[00:01:10] It's nearly two years since

[00:01:12] I left my old mother

[00:01:15] For adventure and gold by the pound

[00:01:21] With Jimmy the prospector he was another

[00:01:27] For the hills of Otago was bound

[00:01:33] Farewell to the gold that never I found

[00:01:39] Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound

[00:01:45] For it's only when dreaming

[00:01:48] That I see you gleaming

[00:01:51] Down in the dark deep underground

[00:01:57] We serched the Cardrona's dry valley all over

[00:02:03] Old Jimmy Williams and me

[00:02:09] They were panning good

[00:02:10] Dirt on the winding Shotover

[00:02:14] So we down there just for to see

[00:02:20] Farewell to the gold that never I found

[00:02:26] Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound

[00:02:32] For it's only when dreaming

[00:02:36] That I see you gleaming

[00:02:38] Down in the dark deep underground

[00:02:44] We sluiced and we cradled for day after day

[00:02:50] Making hardly enough to get by

[00:02:56] When a terrible flood swept poor Jimmy away

[00:03:02] During six stormy days in July

[00:03:08] Farewell to the gold that never I found

[00:03:13] Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound

[00:03:19] For it's only when dreaming

[00:03:23] That I see you gleaming

[00:03:25] Down in the dark deep underground

[00:03:31] Farewell to the gold that never I found

[00:03:37] Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound

[00:03:43] For it's only when dreaming

[00:03:46] That I see you gleaming

[00:03:49] Down in the dark deep underground
