verse 1
i’ve wandered all over this country
prospectin’ and diggin’ for gold
i’ve tunnelled, hydraulic+ed, and cradled
and i have been frequently sold

and i have been frequently sold, boys
yes i have been frequently sold
i’ve tunnelled, hydraulic+ed, and cradled
and i have been frequently sold

verse 2
for one who gets riches by mining
perceiving that hundreds get poor
i made up my mind to try farming
the only prospect that is surе

the only prospect that is sure, boys
thе only prospect that is sure
i made up my mind to try farming
the only prospect that is sure

verse 3
so i rolled all my grub in my blanket
and i left all my tools on the ground
and i picked up one morning to shank it
for a country they call puget sound
for a country they call puget sound, boys
for a country they call puget sound
i picked up one morning to shank it
for a country they call puget sound

verse 4
arriving flat broke in mid winter
i found it enveloped in fog
and covered all over with timber
thick as hair on the back of a dog

thick as hair on the back of a dog, boys
thick as hair on the back of a dog
and covered all over with timber
thick as hair on the back of a dog

[instrumental]

verse 5
but now that i’m used to the climate
i think that if man ever found
a place to be peaceful and quiet
that spot is on old puget sound

that spot is on old puget sound, boys
that spot is on old puget sound
a place to be peaceful and quiet
that spot is on old puget sound
verse 6
no longer the slave of ambition
i laugh at the world and it’s shams
and i think of my happy condition
surrounded by acres of clams

surrounded by acres of clams, boys
surrounded by acres of clams
i think of my happy condition
surrounded by acres of clams
