Fool's Gold


You won't never fin' no precious ore
Way yur pannin' in this stream
Yur a bigger fool than any tha' I seen
You keep thinkin' that by settlin' down
An' sloshing grit and silt
You'll be richer than beyon' yur wildest dreams

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
The longer you keep pannin' in this stream

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
She took yur heart an' left behind her dream

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
An' fool's gold t'ain't seem nuthin' new t'me

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
An' fool's gold ain't done nuthin' good fer me

You always was a foolish girl
Dream'd half yur life away
Wantin' things you know tha' you cain't have
Don't you know when you been beaten
Cain't you ever say 'enuf
Fool who thought tha' love was true this time

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
Cain't you see tha' yur jes' wastin' time

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
G'wan back home now'n get her of't yur mind

If I tol' you once, I tol' you twice
Don't never cross tha' bridge
It's too fer gon' and swayin' to beat th' band
It'll only lead t'a broken heart, 'n you'll come cryin' home
'n I ain't got the time it takes to mend

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
'n fool's gold t'ain't seem'd any good t'me

Nuthin' but fool's gold
She'll likely blow yur mind
Firs' chance she gets she'll only leave again

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'all you'll ever fin'
The longer you keep pannin' in this stream

Nuthin' but fool's gold
S'time to change yur mind
She took yur heart 'n left behind her dream

...took yur heart 'n left behind her dream

She took yur heart 'n left be-hi--i--nn--nd her--er dream.........................

a luv song o' sorts...........
