1
Here's a little story about a fellow by the name of Sam Tucker.
2
Best damn gold miner that ever lived in the fine state of Alabama
3
But he never did cash in before he died
4
In fact, some people same old Sam's gold
5
Is still high up there in them hills.
6
Well, when Sam first struck gold,
7
The legend says you could hear him singing miles around.
8
Chorus:
9
There's gold, gold, gold in the mountains, in the mountains
10
In the creek, in the creek, deep, deep, deep
11
Taking the dirt, taking the dirt to the...
12
It's gonna run, run, run,
13
Run like the river on the mountain, son!
14
.. pretty little girl in Georgia.
15
Sam Tucker was an angry motherfucker
16
From way up in the hills of Alabama.
17
Story goes he turned mud into gold
18
Till his beard grew long grey and white.
19
But old Sam, he never lived in no mansion
20
He stayed up the hills till the day that he died.
21
And Lord knows where his fortune lays still
22
But to find it, damn right I'm gonna try!
23
Any luck, one day you gonna hear me running down that mountain side
24
Just for singing
25
Chorus:
26
There's gold, gold, gold in the mountains, in the mountains
27
In the creek, in the creek, deep, deep, deep
28
Taking the dirt, taking the dirt to the...
29
It's gonna run, run, run,
30
Run like the river on the mountain, son!
31
.. pretty little girl in Georgia.
32
So I set out on a life long journey
33
To find old Sam's gold.
34
But Alabama is pretty big,
35
So I asked the town for any clues
36
About the legend about gold.
37
The story goes down there by the creek
38
Is where old Sam Tucker's state is claimed.
39
Legend says on the forth night of full moon
40
You can still hear old Sam sing.
41
So I set up camp, down there by the creek
42
Just about the time .. broke free.
43
I swear I heard old Sam's voice .. through the hills,
44
If I'm not mistaken, I heard a fiddle in there, too.
45
So I followed the voice that I hear through the thickest of the brightest pines.
46
I saw a shadow of an old grey man
47
Sneaking back to the mouth of his gold mine.
48
I wasn't scared till he saw me standing there
49
He said, boy, you'll never take this gold alive!
50
Found Sam Tucker, an evil motherfucker
51
And that happened since the day that I died!
52
But he said, he said, he said
53
You better run, run, run..
