lirik lagu dave stamey - a pan full of dust
[verse 1]
listen boy i tell you how it is in california
listen i been here since ’49
you broke your back to get here
before all the gold was gone
thinking you’d get rich in the california mines
dreaming you’d get rich in the california mines
you marched across old panama you walked across the plains
climbed the mountains sailed around the h~rn
but the getting here is the easy part
soon i think you find
you gonna wish you never had been born
yeah you gonna curse the day that you were born
[chorus]
you are 3000 milеs away from home
looking for a panful of dust
3,000 miles away from home
sеarching for a handful of dust
[verse 2]
the gold they said it lay around it laid
some deeper in the ground
you wash out ounces to the ton
living inside a muddy tent ‘neath the california range
shovel gravel till your back is numb
kept digging gravel till your back is numb
shovel cost you 50 bucks
that’s if you can find one
there’s coffee and tobacco you can buy
they pack it in on mules all the way from sacramento
bacon’s green but it won’t make you die
yeah the flour’s bad but it won’t make you die
[chorus]
you are 3,000 miles away from home
looking for a panful of dust
3,000 miles away from home
searching for a handful of dust
[verse 3]
in spring the water’s too d~mn high
in summer every creek is dry
in between is when you make your pile
wallow in the mud
just like some suckling hog
hoping soon youl’ go home in style
dreaming soon you’ll go home in style
and when you get back where you come from
with your tail between your legs
your clothes in rags and wearied to the bone
your friends have all forgot your name
and the gal who said she’d wait
is married to some old farmer who stayed home
some hairy legged farmer who stayed home
[chorus]
you are 3,000 miles away from home
looking for a panful of dust
3,000 miles away from home
looking for a handful of dust
you are 5,000 miles away from home
looking for a panful of dust
10,000 miles away from home
searching for a panful of dust
searching for a handful of dust
