Big Gold Mine

(album: The Valley - 2019)

Well tell me mama what am I to do
There's just no getting next to you
I ain't looking 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 morning and I sing this song
I've been a good man all my day
Trying 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 looking 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 darling 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
