farewell to the gold lyrics
[verse 1]
shotover river, your gold it is waiting
it’s years since the color i’ve seen
no use just waiting and lady luck blaming
i’ll pack up and make the break clean

[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see them gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[verse 2]
well, it’s nearly three years since i left my old mother
for adventure and gold by the pound
with jimmy the prospector, he and another
for the hills of otago wе were bound

[chorus]
farewеll to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see them gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[verse 3]
we searched the cardrona’s dry valley all over
old jimmy williams and me
they were panning good dirt on the winding shotover
so we went down there just for to see
[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see them gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[verse 4]
though we sluiced and we cradled for day after day
makin’ hardly enough to get by
when the terrible flood took poor jimmy away
during six stormy days in july

[chorus]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see them gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground

[chorus/outro]
farewell to the gold that never i found
goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound
for it’s only when dreaming that i see them gleaming
down in the dark, deep underground
