The Black Lillies - Gold and Roses lyrics

rate me

Ten thousand feet above the deep dark waters

There's a land like I ain't never seen

There's silver and gold in Mr. Wildrose's garden

Shining on hillside for me.

I said I'm on the East of Kentucky

Said farewell to family at home

And I'm here to risk, to seek my fortune

Figure I can make it long!

Chorus:

Cause it ain't no gold

And it ain't no roses

It ain't no sunshine

And it ain't no rain

Only dark days, frozen troubles

Still my last .. down this day

Still my last... day by day!

I fell in with a stranger in Kansas City

Said, "son, now I'm a union man

I have a fine team of mules and... for the winner

Traveler, I sure can use a hand!"

His ..broke on the Western prairie

To them red rock hills I was bons

Now I'm digging for gold in an old rock current

Nothing worth I found!

Chorus:

Cause it ain't no gold

And it ain't no roses

It ain't no sunshine

And it ain't no rain

Only dark days, frozen troubles

Still my last .. down this day

Still my last... day by day!

Come on now, baby, can you save my soul?

Driving all across the country, gotta find that goal

One more shot of whiskey before I ask your name

For 64 dollars, got a brand new plan

Meeting on Frisco, gonna climb my favourite town

...on the mountain, we ain't coming down

Take a look around, see what you can find!

I hope you like silver, we got a brand new plan!

Chorus:

Whether it ain't no gold

And it ain't no roses

It ain't no sunshine,

I don't care!

Goodbye darkness

So long troubles

100 thousands will buy my share!

100 thousands will buy my share!
