Bless my heart and soul
I`ve discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
Let`s get into town
I am living down by the creek
Getting mired in the mud
No liquor for a week
I feel the cold in my blood
Here`s a very busy lady
On her knees in the sludge
Well I do believe she`s crazy
You know she`s working like a drudge
Bless my heart and soul
She`s discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let`s get into town
Even though she smelt like a drain
She`s an angel to me
Her intentions are plain
And the whiskey is free
Breaking out another bottle
Keep it cool in the dirt
Well it`s a water baby heaven
I got the papers in my shirt
Bless my heart and soul
We`ve discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let`s get into town
Bless my heart and soul
We`ve discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let`s get into town
You work hard all your life little honey
But you can`t afford to save any money
You lay it down you leave the town
To see what you could find
For more than 20 years you`re a diggin`
Then you can`t believe what you are a pickin`
It`s a piece of change just like a mountain range
Whoopee we`re gonna lay it down
