Silver and Gold - The Trammps
The north Atlantic tossed our ship
Nearly drove it to the bottom of the sea
We sailed ten nights
And we sailed ten days
I thought I'd never realize my dreams
The immigration man
He stamped my pass
Wished me luck wherever I should stray
So I traded some silver
For a ticket north west
And I crossed the states of America
There were stories of silver
And stories of gold
Wake up to a new day of riches untold
The rivers run deep and the trees
They stand tall
To hell with my homeland
It's here I'll rise or fall
I pitched my tent in the mining camp
Checked my tools my map and my gun
Rode up to my claim
As soon as I could
And made my plans before the winter set in
Hey harry
You scoundrel this is not your land
This piece of paper says it is says I
And he drew out his knife
And he stuck me through
Stole my deeds and left me there to die
There were stories of silver
And stories of gold
Wake up to a new day of riches untold
The rivers run deep and the trees
They stand tall
To hell with my homeland
It's here I'll rise or fall
The gods gave me strength
And carried me through
And I lived to see another day
Then I rolled into town
With a shotgun in my hand
And I blew the man o'harlahan away
'Cause he robbed me of my silver
And he robbed me of my gold
Robbed me of my dreams
Of riches untold
Have mercy on me judge
I just don't understand
Twenty years in prison
For the claiming of my land
There were stories of silver
And stories of gold
Wake up to a new day of riches untold
The rivers run deep and the trees
They stand tall
To hell with my homeland
It's here I'll rise or fall
There were stories of silver
And stories of gold
Wake up to a new day of riches untold
The rivers run deep and the trees
They stand tall
To hell with my homeland
It's here I'll rise or fall
