Paint Your Wagon movie - Gold Fever lyrics

rate me

<br>

I would give the world to see<br>

How I used to be<br>

When I had no axe to grind<br>

Except for chopping wood<br>

<br>

Day was day, and night was night<br>

Wrong, was never right<br>

Didn't matter where I went<br>

As much as where I stood<br>

<br>

I had dreams, average size<br>

There were stars in the skies<br>

Not my eyes<br>

<br>

Then I got...<br>

Gold fever<br>

No romp 'n rollin' girl<br>

And fellow stuck<br>

'Cause your the, gold fever<br>

Nothin' can help you<br>

But the yellow stuff<br>

<br>

What! Can stop that itchin'?<br>

Ain't! Around the kitchen<br>

Gold, gold, hooked am I<br>

Susannah, go ahead and cry<br>

<br>

Once we all did honest work<br>

Farmer, lawyer, clerk<br>

Married men, and single men<br>

And some who ain't so sure<br>

<br>

Now I look at them and see<br>

Duplicates of me<br>

Cured of what we suffered from<br>

And sufferin' from the cure<br>

<br>

Who can say, why we came?<br>

Where's the hope, where's the flame?<br>

We're the same<br>

<br>

When you've got<br>

Gold fever<br>

No romp 'n rollin' girl<br>

And fellow stuck<br>

'Cause your the gold fever<br>

Nothin' can help you<br>

But the golden stuff<br>

<br>

What! Can stop that itchin'?<br>

Ain't! Around the kitchen<br>

<br>

Gold, gold, hooked am I<br>

Susannah, go ahead and cry<br>

<br>

Gold fever<br>

Gold fever<br>

Gold fever<br>

Gold fever<br>

Gold fever<br>

Deal!<br>

<br>
