FLOWER OF THE GOLD RUSH                                  Back to Lyrics
(J. ERICKSON)


Verse 1

Bend in the willow

Life on the farm

Sin in the meadow

Girl on her own

Hole inside her

Be Bop a Lu

 

Verse 2

She’s got a warning

For me and my mother

Long leanin’ mellow

Flower of the Gold Rush

Back with the old Counts

Dressed in their suits

Silver dust on her shoes

Dust on her shoes

 

Verse 3

Barb Abaletto

Born on the loose

She got bored by the rhythm

Cooked with the goose

Rats in the hallway

Out on the lawn

No one will answer

‘Cause everyone’s gone

Everyone’s gone

 

Verse 4

Girl on the pavement

Roll in my arms

Girl on the rebound

Losin’ her charms

There by the books

And down in the meadow

 

Solo 1

Riff

 

Verse 5

Feel like a song

Sung in the wind

Dry thistles and trees

Hung on the breeze

 

Verse 6

Got my car in the daytime

Walkin’ at night

Unhooked like a minnow

No one in sight

No one on the plain

You can tell by the rain

Kids in the meadow

Good luck with the pain

 

Verse 7

Mmmmm on the table

Me and my mother

Bright like a new sun

Jumped like a gun

Found by the moon

Me and my uncle
