(Paul Metzers)
Shotover River, your
gold it is waning
And it's years since the color I've seen.
No use just sitting, Lady Luck
blaming
I'll pack up and make a break clean.
cho: Farewell to the gold that never I
found,
Goodbye to the nuggets that somewhere abound;
For it's only when dreaming
that I see you gleaming
Down in the dark deep underground.
It's nearly three
years since I left my old mother
For adventure and gold by the pound.
With Jimmy the
prospector, he was another,
For the hills of Otago we were bound.
cho:
We
worked the Cardrona's dry valley all over
Old Jimmy Williams and me.
They were panning
good dust on the winding shotover
So we headed down there just to
see.
cho:
We sluiced and we cradled for day after day
Barely making
enough to get by;
Then a terrible flood swept poor Jimmy away
During six stormy days in
July.
