W:I've wander'd all over this country,
W:prospecting and digging for gold.
W:I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled,
W:And I have been frequently sold.
W:And I have been frequently sold,

W:For one who gets riches by mining,
W:Perceiving that hundreds grow poor,
W:I made up my mind to try farming,
W:The only pursuit that is sure.
W:The only pursuit that is sure...
W:
W:So, rolling my grub in my blanket,
W:I left all my tools on the ground,
W:And started one morning to shank it
W:For a country they call Puget Sound.
W:For a country they call Puget Sound...
W:
W:No longer the slave of ambition,
W:I laugh at the world and it's shams,
W:And I think of my happy condition
W:Surrounded by acres of clams.
W:Surrounded by acres ot clams...
