Gold Lyrics by Lorne Greene

Lorne Green’s American West

0

[Chorus]
(Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold)
(Everybody, young and old wants gold)
(Glittering gold)
[Verse 1]
Now the bane want gold to wear it
The good want gold to share it
The banker wants gold to lend it
We all want gold to spend it
[Chorus]
(Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold)
(Everybody, young and old wants gold)
(Glittering gold)
[Verse 2]
Now the miner wants gold to heap it
The meiser wants gold to keep it
The wise want gold to use it
But the gambler wants gold to lose it
[Chorus]
(Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold)
(Everybody, young and old wants gold)
(Glittering gold)
[Verse 3]
Now gold makes a fine servant but a cruel master
And you know that gold has wings?
Well nothing can fly away faster
(Gold, gold, glittering gold)
(Gold, gold, glittering gold)
Yeah gold is great for getting what pleases the eye
That is providing you have what gold cannot buy
(Gold, gold, glittering gold)
(Gold, gold, glittering gold)
Yes gold is the least of god's great gifts
So take it into your home if you will
But my friend, you're dead at the start if you take gold into your heart
(Gold, gold, glittering gold)
(Gold, gold, glittering gold)
[Verse 4]
Now the mint wants gold to date it
The jeweler wants gold to plate it
The dentist wants gold to drill it
Every father wants gold to will it
[Chorus]
(Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold)
(Everybody, young and old wants gold)
(Glittering gold)
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold
Everybody, young and old wants gold
Glittering gold
Everybody wants gold
