[00:01.03]Lyrics by:Molly Tuttle/Ketch Secor
[00:01.81]Produced by:Jerry Douglas/Molly Tuttle
[00:07.52]I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State
[00:09.37]With a nugget around my neck
[00:11.32]I keep the red lights burning
[00:12.88]Bright from here to hell and back
[00:15.07]I've dug for silver and for
[00:16.75]Gold from Boulder up to Haines
[00:18.96]When I hit Coloma boys
[00:20.74]I made my final claim
[00:23.78]Crossed the high sierras in the spring of 48
[00:27.45]And every man with a shovel and pan
[00:29.33]Has stumbled through my gates
[00:31.25]Behind these doors whiskey
[00:32.74]Pours and lovin' flows like wine
[00:36.19]Miners boast of mother lodes
[00:37.86]They'll dig or else die trying
[00:40.33]El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
[00:52.02]They come from far and wide
[00:53.17]To quell the fever in their souls
[00:55.68]It haunts their brain
[00:56.44]They've gone insane
[00:57.38]For the glimmer of the gold
[00:59.37]The devil must have **
[01:00.85]'Em here down a one-way path
[01:04.18]'Cause when you hit Coloma
[01:05.69]Boys you never make it back
[01:08.63]There's Redwood Bill
[01:09.58]He can drink his fill
[01:10.56]And so can John the Rover
[01:12.47]Bad Luck Dave is in his grave
[01:14.25]His gold dust days are over
[01:16.15]They fill their pans with blood
[01:17.40]And sand and call to God upstairs
[01:20.77]But in the golden country boys
[01:22.71]The Lord don't hear your prayers
[01:25.22]El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
[01:36.94]'Cross yourself on Hangman's
[01:38.05]Hill if you run into Reno Maria
[01:40.22]When the sky is dark she can read the stars
[01:41.98]From Mars to Cassiopeia
[01:43.92]She comes around when the sun
[01:45.38]Comes down with fortunes to be told
[01:48.76]For a copper penny she'll tell you plenty
[01:50.49]'Cept where to find the gold
[01:53.63]Stay away from Snake Oil Jake
[01:55.23]He'll fool you with a fountain pen
[01:57.01]One look in his eyes you'll be hypnotized
[01:58.72]He's got that slight of hand
[02:00.77]He's sleek and fat like an old tom cat
[02:02.70]They say he has nine lives
[02:05.46]Snake Oil Jake sure met his fate when
[02:07.25]They shot him down ten times
[02:11.86]Don't stake your claim with the
[02:13.04]Dogtown Gang
[02:13.70]Or the boys from Rough and Ready
[02:15.53]Don't thumb your nose at the Sydney Cove
[02:17.37]'Cause the hammer comes down heavy
[02:19.36]On every jack who tries to
[02:20.84]Hack his way to fortune fair
[02:24.38]And comes to find he's last
[02:25.38]In line to be a millionaire
[02:28.61]El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
[02:35.97]El Dorado city of gold city of fools
[03:14.97]Heard the news from Siskiyou
[03:16.61]The rush is moving on
[03:18.50]Leaving old Coloma boys
[03:20.24]And bound for Oregon
[03:22.21]Here in town the tailing
[03:23.59]Piles have all gone to rust
[03:26.90]One day you boom but pretty soon
[03:28.66]Your booming days are bust
[03:33.23]So now I sweep the empty
[03:34.76]Streets and boarded up saloon
[03:37.12]Seen 'em fade from golden
[03:38.68]Days to ghost towns left to ruin
[03:41.04]Was it worth the blood and
[03:42.36]Dirt to dig our lives away
[03:47.72]But life goes quick so come
[03:48.83]Get rich in Californ-I-A
[03:52.11]El Dorado woo-hoo-hoo
[03:59.52]El Dorado city of gold city of fools
[04:05.33]Has the fever got a hold on you
[04:10.93]I've seen it all the rise and
[04:12.62]Fall and now I take my rest
[04:14.65]I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State
[04:16.50]And I'm the last one left
