I've C wandered all over this country, prospecting and digging for Am gold

I've C tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled and I nearly G7 froze in the C cold

For C one who got wealthy by mining, I saw many hundreds get Am poor

I C made up my mind to go digging for something a G7 little more C sure

For C something a little more sure (me boys), for something a little more Am sure

I C made up my mind to go digging for something a G7 little more C sure

I C rolled up my grub in my blanket, I left all my tools on the Am ground

I C started one morning to shank it for the country they G7 call Puget C Sound

For the C country they call Puget Sound (me boys), for the country they call Puget Am Sound

I C started one morning to shank it for the country they G7 call Puget C Sound

No C longer a slave of ambition, I laugh at the world and its Am shams

And I C think of my happy condition, surrounded by G7 acres of C clams

Sur- C rounded by acres of clams (me boys), surrounded by acres of Am clams

And I C think of my happy condition, surrounded by G7 acres of C clams
