Lyrics:
My name is Bill Harlan. I'm a God fearin' man From the lost rebel army, a Tennessee Calvary man From Shilo to Nashville we made our last stand When the battles were over, everythin' we had was gone with the wind But I still had my family and a hope and a dream And I heard of gold fever and the Rocky Mountain streams So we took what we had and some gold diggin' gear And we headed for a new life on the Northwest frontier Montana Territory where the winters are cold The lands full of game and the creeks are full of gold Just west of the mountains is a town they call Gibbonsville You can sure get gold fever, you can damn sure get killed But I staked my claims, I was rarin' to go I've made up my mind and I set out to find the Gibbonsville (D)gold [Chorus:] Oh, you find just a little, just enough to get by Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why There's a whole lot more down there, I don't have to be told I've made up my mind and I'm gonna find that Gibbonsville gold Every morning at daylight with a pick and a pan Keep an eye out for the blackfeet. Keep a rifle near hand Back shooters and grizzlies, better stay alert all the time 'Cause the only law here in this wild country is the gun and the knife In the year of our Lord, eighteen sixty-nine I lost my dear son to a cave-in at the mine Yes I know he's gone please God rest his soul So many have died trying to find this damned Gibbonsville gold [Chorus:] Yeah, you find just a little, just enough to get by Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why Then someone finds a nugget, just as big as your thumb And we all go hard at it from sun until sun Yeah I got to find it, that main mother load I've made up my mind and I swear to find that Gibbonsville gold There's a whole lot more down there, my share of that main mother load I've made up my mind and I swear to find the Gibbonsville gold --- fade
