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
