Beulah - Ballad Of The Lonely Argonaut lyrics

rate me

Half by sea Through the isthmus o'er the cape they're rounding Over land Follow the shallow ribbon of the plat an El Dorado waits like an avalanche and the boys are off to see the elephant How does it feel to roam this land like Hart and Twain did? How, how, how does it feel? A thousand miles closer to hell Over land they pass God's bluff and cross the basin Half by sea they follow the coast and through the gate where Gold is coated with gold on the languid hills where they wait for hours and hours cool gray ladies from shirley's learn us cheer and they sat for hours and hours The luck of the roaring camp and how they taught the outcasts of the flats in their poker face Cannot hide the fever of the children's crusade slow, slower than slow days spill into one another Gold is coated with gold on the languid hills where they wait for hours and hours cool gray ladies from Shirley's loan us cheer and they sat for hours and hours
