Big Gold Mine - Charley Crockett

Well tell me mama what am I to do

There’s just no gettin' next to you

I ain’t lookin' for a big gold mine

I just want to make you mine

Well tell me pretty sugar where did I go wrong

I wake up in the mornin' and I sing this song

I’ve been a good man all my day

Tryin' to do like the good book say

Although it may get heavy

Further on up the line

I’m much stronger than that levee

And I think you’d find

This silver city is the place to be

That’s what a pretty little girl told me

Rich men dance on the parlor floor

Poor folk lookin' in through the door

Although it may get heavy

Further on down the road

I’m much stronger than the levee

I’m about to let it show

Well tell me darlin' what do I do now

Just can’t get behind this mule and plow

I don’t need no big gold mine

I just want to make you mine
