Track 5
There's Gold in Them Thar Hills

Vocal Intro, Bar Scene

I heard the fellas talkin' all about a southern gal
Who had gold and gold a-plenty stashed away...
So I saddled up Ol' Paint, said "Goodbye" to my best pal,
An' left to seek my fortune, come what may!

Count us off, old timer! Ah hah!

When I reached 'er mountain dwellin' how I wished I didn't go,
For 'twas then I met this "creature" from the South.
Tell me how was I t' know, dern it how was I t' know
That all the gold she had was in her mouth!

Oh there's gold in them thar hills!
Yep there's gold in them thar hills!
It ain't buried underground but so long as she's around,
There's gold in them thar hills!

Not to be outdone I asked 'er, "Honey, won'tchya marry me?"
An' she jumped at the offer, teeth and all!
Though she cooks the weirdest suppers, how I love them golden uppers.
`Cause there's gold in them thar hills!

Second Verse

We've been hitched about a year an' it's a cinch it ain't been fun.
She ain't perty but there's somethin' 'bout 'er face.
When she smiles I dream of drillin' through ev'ry golden fillin'
And fer that it's worth the waitin' just in case!

Oh there's gold in them thar hills!
Yep there's gold in them thar hills!
It ain't buried underground but so long as she's around,
There's gold in them thar hills!

Now there's sev'ral thousand bucks behind that pair of lips she's got,
An' fer me in terms of money that's a lot!
You might think that I'm uncouth, but I aim t' get each tooth,
'Cause there's gold in them thar hills!

Now there's gold in them thar hills!
Yep there's gold in them thar hills!
Ev'ry night 'er hair's in rollers but my eye is on them molars...
There's gold in them thar hills!

On a dark night while she's sleepin' I got plans t' have some fun..
An' I think a pair of pliers will do fine.
Gonna open up that goldmine an' yank 'em one by one!
Then all the gold in them thar hills will all be mine!

There's gold in them thar hills!
Yep there's gold in them thar hills!
It ain't buried underground but so long as she's around,
There's gold in them thar hills!

Yeah there's gold...in...them...thar...hills!
