Sheb Wooley - It's Gold lyrics

It's gold it's gold it's gold came the cry from Sacramento It's gold it's gold it's gold John Marshall came a ridin' his findins to report Showed the gold to Colonel Sudder there at Sudder's fort It's rich by Joe said the Colonel and the news spread all around And it started thousands sayin' I'm California bound It's gold it's gold it's gold came the cry from Sacramento It's gold it's gold it's gold Yeah the hills were full of miners they seemed to come in droves And everyone was looking for that solid vein of gold They were very few who found it and the others changed their plans Those farmers would be miners became farmers once again It's gold it's gold it's gold came the cry from Sacramento It's gold it's gold it's gold And the sweethearts left behind them soon were on their way Out to California where they put down roots to stay In the California valleys that rich and fertile land Well they found the gold more lasting than the gold they came to pan It's gold it's gold it's gold came the cry from Sacramento It's gold it's gold it's gold
