Ship Of Gold Lyrics - The Elephant Riders - Clutch

Tin shacks and catfish bones 

been 'bout all I ever known 

The junebugs rattle and roll 

around the old maypole 

Thunder and lightning 

I said the catfish are biting 

I took a riverboat downstream 

I think you know what I mean 

The chicken hawks, they are gathering 

Above my head, they are circling 

Old friends coming out visiting 

say, "Hi," talk about collecting 

Stray dogs won't come near me 

Was blind, now I see clearly 

Believe I'm fixing to die 

When you're living in the country it's "why, oh why?"

Whoa, I'm sorry that I left my home 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Whoa, I'm sorry that I left my home 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Look over yonder there 

on the farther shore 

On the farther shore 

look over yonder there 

I see a ship of gold 

I see a ship of gold 

Beyond that mountain there 

I see a Citty-on-the-Hille 

Its gates are open wide 

I hear the ringing bells 

Look over yonder there 

on toward the burying ground 

Poor boy is all afire 

Poor boy is dead and gone 

Whoa, Poor boy is dead and gone

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Whoa 

One of these days the Ship of Gold 

will carry me to my reward 

Out of this world it will take me 

to hear the horns of Jubilee 

Pig fat and old pork rinds 

ain't enough to keep a man alive 

The bullfrog sleeps all day 

Come night he has his say 

Believe I'm fixing to die 

Believe I'll take my rest 

Believe I'm fixing to die 

Believe I'll take my rest 

Whoa, I'm sorry that I left my home. 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh 

Whoa, I'm sorry that I left my home. 

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
