  • 作词 : A. Lomax/J. Lomax
    作曲 : A. Lomax/J. Lomax
    I've traveled all over this country
    Prospectin' and diggin' for gold.
    I've tunneled, hydraulic-ed, and cradled,
    And I have been frequently sold.
    And I have been frequently so-o-old,
    And I have been frequently sold.
    I've tunneled, hydraulic-ed, and cradled,
    and I have been frequently sold.
    For each man who got rich by mining,
    Perceiving that hundreds grew poor,
    I made up my mind to try farming:
    The only pursuit that was sure.
    So rollin' my grub in my blanket
    I left all my tools on the ground.
    I started one mornin' to shag it
    For the country they call Puget Sound.
    For the country they call Puget So-o-ound,
    For the country they call Puget Sound.
    I started one mornin' to shag it
    For the country they call Puget Sound.
    Arriving flat broke in midwinter,
    I found it enveloped with fog
    And covered all over with timber,
    Thick as hair on the back of a dog.
    As I looked at the prospects so gloomy,
    The tears trickled over my face
    And I thought that my travels had brought me
    To the end of the jumpin' off place.
    To the end of the jumpin' off pla-a-ace,
    To the end of the jumpin' off place.
    I thought that my travels had brought me
    To the end of the jumpin' off place.
    But now as I look all around me,
    Observing the world and its shells,
    I think of my happy condition,
    Surrounded by acres of clams.
    Surrounded by acres of cla-a-ams,
    Surrounded by acres of clams.
    I think of my happy condition,
    Surrounded by acres of clams.
    Surrounded by acres of clams,
    By acres of clams.
