MOUNTAIN OF GOLD c 2001 Compton Maddux/

Sometimes in rockpiles/ search?in just search?in
Bend down and pick it up/ whatever caught my eye
Back gets to break?in/ bend?in down and pick?in it up
And time goes by

I?m tired of small change/ see a penny don?t pick it up
I?m finally high and rich enough
I found a mountain/ Found a mountain of gold

I?ve seen the sunrise/ seen a thousand cloudy days
Watched the wind come in on a crouch/
Watched my youth fade away/
Up on this mountain of gold

I?m tired of small change/ see a penny don?t pick it up
I?m finally high and rich enough
I found a mountain/ Found a mountain of gold

I see the raven/ I see the sun
I see the sky/ but here I lie
I see the raven/ I see the sun
II see the sky/ but here I lie

Up on this mountain of gold

Just an old prospector from the private sector
Used to doing what he?s been told/
Took a pick-ax and a donkey/ headed cross the border
Way down to Mexico/
Fry?in in the hot sun/ finally thought he saw some
Shin?in like a jewel in the hills
There?s gold in them? thar hills/ I been told
There?s gold.....a mountain of gold

I see the raven/ I see the sun
I see the sky/ but here I lie
I see the raven/ I see the sun
II see the sky/ but here I lie

Up on this mountain of gold...............

Sometimes in rockpiles...search?ins just search?in
