Текст песни: Gold and Roses + перевод

Ten thousand feet above them deep dark waters

There’s a land like I ain’t never seen

There’s silver and gold midst a wild rose garden

Shining on the hillside for me

I set out from Eastern Kentucky

Said farewell to family and home

Then I headed west to seek my fortune

Figured I could make it alone

But there ain’t no gold and there ain’t no roses

There ain’t no sunshine and there ain’t no rain

Only darkness, toils and troubles

Steal my life’s blood down in this vein

Steal my life’s blood vein by vein

I fell in with a stranger in Kansas City

He said «Son, now I’m a Union man

I’ve a fine team of mules and rations for the winter;

Traveler, I sure could use a hand.»

When springtime broke on that western prairie

To them red rock hills I was bound

Now I’m digging for gold in an old rock garden

And nothing of worth I’ve found

But there ain’t no gold and there ain’t no roses

There ain’t no sunshine and there ain’t no rain

Only darkness, toils and troubles

Steal my life’s blood down in this vein

Steal my life’s blood vein by vein

Bridge:

Come on now baby can you save my soul

Traveled all across the country got to find that gold

One more shot of whiskey 'fore I ask your man

For sixty-four dollars, got a brand new plan

Me and ol Frisco gonna climb up over town

Dig a hole in the mountain, we ain’t coming down

Take a look around and see what we can find

I hope you like silver — we’ve got a brand new mine…

Well there ain’t no gold and there ain’t no roses

There ain’t no sunshine and I don’t care

Goodbye darkness, so long troubles

One hundred thousand will buy my share

One hundred thousand will buy my share
