3:11Oh well, the gold rush is over now so honey bye-bye Stake out your claim now with some other guy I've wined you and dined you 'til my money's all gone Now the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on Well, 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's all gone So go diggin', mama, you can start movin' on Oh well, the gold rush is over now so honey bye-bye Stake out your claim now with some other guy I've wined you and dined you 'til my money's all gone Now the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big Now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig Well, stop diggin' honey, you're wastin' your time This old gravy train is at the end of the line Oh well, the gold rush is over now so honey bye-bye Stake out your claim now with some other guy I've wined you and dined you 'til my money's all gone But the gold diggin's over and the bum's rush is on Oh well, the gold rush is over now so honey bye-bye Stake out your claim now with some other guy I've wined you and dined you 'til my money's all gone But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on Well, you've been out prospectin' all around the side But this old mule now has had its last ride So start walkin', woman, your grubstake is gone The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on Oh well, the gold rush is over now so honey bye-bye Stake out your claim now with some other guy I've wined you and dined you 'til my money's all gone The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
