The End

Nevada Gold

Well I've got that roaming fever don't know what to do

Last time I had it I looked just like a fool

But there's gold in nevada enough for every man

All you need is a pick-ax a shovel and a pan

After four months on the trail I finally staked my claim

If I don't get rich I'm the only one to blame

All I have to do is work hard and don't go out at night

But all those saloons and dance halls are a friendly sight

After Four months of digging I have lots of gold

Now stay away from town is what I was told

But a few little drinks and a girl by my side

Do a little gambling and come back here and hide

Well I learned my lesson dancing with the woman of a jelious man

Instead of trying to fight I should have turned around and ran

He drew his gun faster now I'm dying on the floor

I guess this is the end I won't be roaming any more
