Lyrics[]
- Well it was back in 1849,
- At the Springfield Golden Nugget Mine,
- That my great-grandma Dolores saved the day,
- When she propped the shaft and saved the lives,
- Of the other forty Springfield wives,
- When all ma grandpa's buddies ran away
- The menfolk found their women scary,
- Cos they were so big and hairy,
- They thought of dynamite to seal them in
- Gramps was known as 'Chapped Lips Calhoun',
- He was in the local saloon,
- In came Billy-Joe walkin' through the door,
- He said "They're blown the Golden Nugget!"
- My grandaddy said "Aw.. darn it!"
- "You've buried my Dolores, my sweet little golden 'ore"
- Swing it, son
- Now my grandaddy jumped up from his table,
- Finished his jug,
- And he got up to that mine just as lickety-darn-split as he could,
- Stopped off to fetch his shovel,
- Feed the dogs,
- Brush his teeth,
- Clean the john, and give his horse one final rubdown
- Cos a cowboy's life ain't easy and a cowboy's life is hard,
- You can take him from the saddle,
- But he'll be forever scarred
- Well my grandpa was a man in love,
- Called Dolores his 'prairie dove',
- And he told her that he loved her with every sigh
- Cos she never once forgave him,
- Even underneath the cave-in,
- But he knew she would forgive him,
- In that goldmine in the sky
- (goldmine in the sky)
- Swing it, son
