South America

South America Words & Music by: Rick Denzien Digging here all day digging for the mother load 10,000 pounds of dirt just searching for a grain of gold Come here as a young man seeking the world’s wealth I could die here as an old man poor and in ill health Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain Running for the gold – run until you’re old South America – South America – South America Amazon sky jungle makes a play for the soul With twenty trips a day the mining takes it’s toll Danger on the ladder mud sticks to the skin You can eat the beans and rice yet the body stays so thin Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain Running for the gold – run until you’re old South America – South America – South America Free from all harm – flee till it’s over Flee from all harm – tonight Flee from all harm - flee from the enemy Free from all harm – tonight – yeah tonight yeah Man they drink on payday women are rich in the town Man they want to go home the rains just come down In the rain they sleep and see the ones they miss Only lucky ones are not reduced to this Gold in the mountain – gold in the mountain Running for the gold – run until you’re old South America – South America – South America © MCMMXCIV slot one entertainment, Inc. all rights reserved - ASCAP
