| C | |
| I've | traveled all over this country, |
| Am | |
| Prospecting and digging for | gold. |
| C | |
| I've | tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled, |
| F | C | G7 | C |
| And, | I have been | frequently | sold. |
First Chorus:
| C |
| And I have been frequently sold, |
| Am | |
| And I have been frequently | sold, |
| C | |
| I've | tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled, |
| F | C | G7 | C |
| And, | I have been | frequently | sold. |
For one who gets riches by mining
Perceiving that hundreds grow poor,
I made up my mind to try farming,
The only pursuit that is sure.
Second Chorus:
The only pursuit that is sure, (twice)
I made up mind to try farming
The only pursuit that is sure.
So, rolling my grub in my blanket,
I left all my tools on the ground,
And started one morning to shank it
For a country they call Puget Sound.
Third Chorus:
For a country they call Puget Sound, (twice)
And started one morning to shank it
For a country they call Puget Sound.
No longer the slave of ambition,
I laugh at the world and its shams,
And I think of my happy condition
Surrounded by acres of clams.
Fourth Chorus:
Surrounded by acres of clams, (twice)
And think of my happy condition
Surrounded by acres of clams.
