Sunset Music: Music & Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

.....
A couple of restless souls
Packed up to head out west
Heard the stories
‘Bout the fortunes
In the mines
And when it was time to go
Said goodbye to all the folks
Who stayed behind
And thought they’d never find
Gold

Crossed the mountains in the winter
Lost the wagon in the river
But they found a place
Where they could stake a claim
And they gave the days to diggin’
‘Till the day that something sittin’
In the pan
Just didn’t look the same
Gold

Yippee…Yi…Yay
They would shout out loud
When they found some yellow dust
Yippee…Yi…Yo
Just enough to keep them going
Keep the coffee and the beans on the fire
And keep their dreams alive

As the years went slowly by
In the quiet of the night
They’d sometimes wonder why
They’d ever come
But it all seemed worth the trouble
Just to look down in the shovel
There it was
Shining in the sun
Gold

Yippee…Yi…Yay
They would shout out loud
When they found some yellow dust
Yippee…Yi…Yo
Just enough to keep them going
Keep the coffee and the beans on the fire
And keep their dreams alive
Yippee…Yi…Yay
Gold
