《Gold Rush Brides》歌词

[00:00:08] Follow the typical signs the hand painted lines down prairie roads

[00:00:18] Pass the lone church spire

[00:00:20] Pass the talking wire from where to who knows

[00:00:34] There's no way to divide the beauty of the sky from the wild western plains

[00:00:43] Where a man could drift in legendary myth by roaming over spaces

[00:00:59] The land was free and the price was right

[00:01:09] Dakota on the wall is a white robed woman broad yet maidenly

[00:01:18] Such power in her hand as she hails the wagon man's family

[00:01:27] I see indians that crawl through this mural that recalls our history

[00:01:36] Who were the homestead wives

[00:01:39] Who were the gold rush brides

[00:01:42] Does anybody know

[00:01:46] Do their works survive their yellow fever lives in the pages they wrote

[00:02:01] The land was free yet it cost their lives

[00:02:11] In miner's lust for gold A family's house was bought and sold piece by piece

[00:02:21] A widow staked her claim on a dollar and his name so painfully

[00:02:30] In letters mailed back home her eastern sisters they would moan

[00:02:34] As they would read accounts of madness childbirth loneliness and grief
