[C] In the rain and cold we dug for gold [G] through the water [F] and the [G] mud
Oh, through the water [C] and the mud _ _

God find the snow [D] blind trapper [C]
and help him [G] on his way
[F] God bless the [C] drunken fiddler [G] when he finds the [F] time to [C] play
_ The words [Dm] of the dying man [C] left frozen [G] in the cold
[F] And pity the [C] weary miner [G] who's never found [F] his [G] goal
Whoa, never found [C] his goal
_ _ _ Well, I wished I [D] was in Portland [C] or some other [G] seacoast town
_ [F] I'd sail [C] around this whole wide [G] world and lay this [F] cradle [G] down
