Lyrics

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, now my money’s all gone
The gold rush is over and I’m moving on.

When I had the money honey, things were just fine
You spent my money like I was the mine
Now you mistreat me 'cause my money’s all gone
So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on.

That big eight wheeler rollin' down the track
Means your lovin' daddy ain't comin' back
'Cause I'm movin' on, I'll soon be gone
You were flyin' too high for my little old sky
And I'm movin' on

Mister fireman, won't you listen to me?
'Cause I got a pretty mama in Tennessee
Keep movin' me on, keep rollin' on
So shovel the coal, let it rattle a roll
keep movin' me on

You've been out prospecting all around on the side
Now this old mule, has had his last ride
Start walkin' woman 'cause you’re wasting your time
The gold rush is over and I’m moving on

I told you, baby, from time to time
You wouldn't listen to me or pay me no mind
I'm movin' on, I'm rollin' on
Well, you broke your vow and it's all over now
And I'm movin' on

The gold rush is over so honey bye-bye
Stake out your claim now on some other guy
Keep movin' on, you stayed too long
Well I'm through with you, too bad you're blue
Keep movin' on
Oh! The gold rush is over and I’m moving on!
