Gold fever got me on high Swinging my head with that look in my eye Gold fever out of time Gonna get gold rich before i die They say this is the promise land By the end of the day they'll be gold in my hand Whatcha find? don't tip the scale Don't you know we'd a name for sale (?) Down every mine in this town before Ain't nothing here but iron and oil Oh lord, heard that before In my whole damn life i've never been so poor Gold fever, got me on high Spinning my head with that look in my eye Gold fever, out of time Gonna get gold rich before i die You say you see that gold in my eye It's determination baby, eyes to the prize Call it what you want, our cupboards are bare Sick of sitting waiting here for you in our chair I see what you're saying but it's not fair I guess i got to go to california You do it for me or don't come home If you ain't got not gold, you ain't got no home Gold fever, got me on high Spinning my head with that look in my eye Gold fever, out of time Gonna get gold rich before i die
