Bless my heart and soul
I ve discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
Let s get into town

I am living down by the creek
Getting mired in the mud
No liquor for a week
I feel the cold in my blood
Here s a very busy lady
On her knees in the sludge
Well I do believe she s crazy
You know she s working like a drudge

Bless my heart and soul
She s discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let s get into town

Even though she smelt like a drain
She s an angel to me
Her intentions are plain
And the whiskey is free
Breaking out another bottle
Keep it cool in the dirt
Well it s a water baby heaven
I got the papers in my shirt

Bless my heart and soul
We ve discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let s get into town

Bless my heart and soul
We ve discovered gold
Spread the news around
Get the ship afloat
A rock and roll the boat
And let s get into town

You work hard all your life little honey
But you can t afford to save any money
You lay it down you leave the town
To see what you could find

For more than 20 years you re a diggin
Then you can t believe what you are a pickin
It s a piece of change just like a mountain range
Whoopee we re gonna lay it down
