The Gold Rush Is Over

	  		THE GOLD RUSH IS OVER 
Recorded by Hank Snow 
Words and music by Cindy Walker 

G Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye-bye 
C Stake out your claim now on some other G guy 
I've D7 wined you and dined you till my money is gone 
But the G gold rush is over and the bum's D7 rush is G on.
 
 
G Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine 
C You spent my money like I was a G mine 
But D7 now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone 
So gold-{G} diggin' Mama, you can D7 start moving' G on. 
 
You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big 
But now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig 
Well, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time 
This old gravy train is at the end of the line. 
 
CHORUS 
 
You've been out prospecting all around on the side 
But this old mule now, has had his last ride 
So start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is gone 
The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on. 
 
CHORUS
