Sutter's Fort

Food and board provided for What more could you need than Safety of the walls Gold, gold, gold, in the Gold, deep in the river Safe from hostile frontier In here, out there what will Keep you warm Gold, gold, gold, in the Gold, deep in the river Because when the gangrene sets in Who will save your life and limb Pyrite is all you'll find A perfect treasure for fools Look past your nose see what Was here before your mind Was clouded with Gold, gold, gold, in the Gold, deep in the river Tear down your walls and I will Rebuild this fort using only Gold, gold, gold, in the Gold, deep in the river How can one man plow these Fields with only memories They ate all m bread and drank all my ale The pissed in my beds and shit in my well My supply rooms are full of empty cans A fort brimming with ghosts and one tired old man Abandoning their posts, where has everybody gone Search of promises of gold Pondering the ghosts, where has everybody gone Search for promises of gold Pyrite is all you'll find A perfect treasure for fools I know you know The was to home
