Recorded by Hank Snow Words and music by Cindy Walker CHORUS Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye-bye Stake out your claim now on some other guy I've wined you and dined you till my money is gone But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on. Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine You spent my money like I was a mine But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' 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
