The gold rush is on And I'm leaving you Mom The casons are rolling along I know that sister's Still living in sin When I've time I'll judge her again I tried my best Like you said Good friends are wishing Goodbyes and good lucks While husbands and wives have a last hug I drank till I was unable to stand The sickle, the noose and the firebrand Waste, I'm a waste of time So I tried and I tried But it all went wrong Oh, my best You were my trumpeter swan All along
