《Fools of Forty-Nine》歌词

[00:00:00] Fools of Forty-Nine - Arthur Smith/The Willis Brothers
[00:00:01] When gold was found in forty-eight the people said 'twas gas
[00:00:04] And some were fools enough to think the lumps were only brass
[00:00:08] But they soon were satisfied and started off to mine
[00:00:12] They bought a ship came 'round the Horn in the fall of forty-nine
[00:00:16] Cho
[00:00:16] Then they thought of what they had been told when they started after gold:
[00:00:24] That they never in this world would make their pile
[00:00:28] The poor the old the rotten scows were advertised to sail
[00:00:33] To New Orleans with passengers but they must come and bail
[00:00:37] The ships were crowded more than full but some hung on behind
[00:00:41] And others dived off from the wharf and swam 'till they were blind
[00:00:58] With rusty pork and stinking beef and rotten wormy bread
[00:01:01] With captains too that never were as high as the mainmast head
[00:01:05] The steerage passengers would rave and swear they'd paid their passage
[00:01:09] They wanted something more to eat besides the lowly sausage
[00:01:13] Cho
[00:01:26] And they begun to cross the plains with oxen holler and haul
[00:01:29] And steamers they began to run as far as Panama
[00:01:34] And there for months the people stayed that started after gold;
[00:01:38] And some returned disgusted with the lies they had been told
[00:01:42] Cho
[00:01:54] The people died on every route they sickened and died like sheep
[00:01:58] And those at sea 'fore they were dead were launched into the deep
[00:02:02] And those that died crossing the plains fared not as well as that
[00:02:06] For holes was dug and they was dumped along the terrible Platte
[00:02:10] Cho
