1
My name is Bill Harlan. I'm a God fearin' man
2
From the lost rebel army, a Tennessee Calvary man
3
From Shilo to Nashville we made our last stand
4
When the battles were over, everythin' we had was gone with the wind
5
But I still had my family and a hope and a dream
6
And I heard of gold fever and the Rocky Mountain streams
7
So we took what we had and some gold diggin' gear
8
And we headed for a new life on the Northwest frontier
9
Montana Territory where the winters are cold
10
The lands full of game and the creeks are full of gold
11
Just west of the mountains is a town they call Gibbonsville
12
You can sure get gold fever, you can damn sure get killed
13
But I staked my claims, I was rarin' to go
14
I've made up my mind and I set out to find the Gibbonsville (D)gold
15
(Chorus)
16
Oh, you find just a little, just enough to get by
17
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why
18
There's a whole lot more down there, I don't have to be told
19
I've made up my mind and I'm gonna find that Gibbonsville gold
20
Every morning at daylight with a pick and a pan
21
Keep an eye out for the blackfeet. Keep a rifle near hand
22
Back shooters and grizzlies, better stay alert all the time
23
'Cause the only law here in this wild country is the gun and the knife
24
In the year of our Lord, eighteen sixty-nine
25
I lost my dear son to a cave-in at the mine
26
Yes I know he's gone please God rest his soul
27
So many have died trying to find this damned Gibbonsville gold
28
(Chorus)
29
Yeah, you find just a little, just enough to get by
30
Aww, you dig and you dig, and you start wonderin' why
31
Then someone finds a nugget, just as big as your thumb
32
And we all go hard at it from sun until sun
33
Yeah I got to find it, that main mother load
34
I've made up my mind and I swear to find that Gibbonsville gold
35
There's a whole lot more down there, my share of that main mother load
36
I've made up my mind and I swear to find the Gibbonsville gold --- fade
