Got No Gold

oh my god what can I say
it's just been a long damn day
and all I want
all I want is to
get myself all whiskey lubed
think about the petting zoo
drop a nickle out into
the rain
just to see if Abe comes back again.

oh my god what can I say
everything is dried away
and the gold is gone
my hopes are gone
and i've been in the mines too long
is the inside of my bottle's walls
walk outside and take
a pee
just to see if Abe is back in town

oh my god the mine is dry

my donkey is dead and I ain't high

my pickaxe's broke the stars were wrong

my whiskey's dried and the gold is gone

i went into a saloon 

oh i went into a saloon last night

got in a fight with a salmon knife

just to see if Abe is back again

I walked down the road last night 

drunk off moonshine and lookin for a fight

I ain't got an excitin life

and especially got no goddamn wife

but i am fine 

but i am fine

just as long as abe comes back again

my prospector's life is a cryin' matter

my prospector's life is a cryin matter

I don't get no women, gold, or water

but you better say i never been gladder

just to see Abe come back again

just to see Abe come back again

oh what say you
to the giraffe in the petting zoo
say hey, you long necked nucklebrain
don't you dare look at me again
oh hey ahey yaya

just to see Abe come back again
