acres of clams - the tarriers lyrics
[intro]
*whistling*
[verse 1]
i’ve traveled all over this country
prospecting and digging for gold
i’ve tunneled, hydraulic*ed and cradled
and i have been frequently sold
[chorus]
and i have been frequently sold
and i have been frequently sold
i’ve tunneled, hydraulic*ed, and cradled
and i have been frequently sold
[verse 2]
there’re those who got riches by mining
but perceiving that hundreds grow poor
i made up my mind to try farming
the only pursuit that is sure
[chorus]
the only pursuit that is sure
the only pursuit that is sure
i made up my mind to try farming
the only pursuit that is sure
[verse 3]
so, rollin’ my grub in my blanket
i dropped all my tools on the ground
and started one morning to shank it
for a country they call puget sound
[chorus]
for a country they call puget sound
for a country they call puget sound
i started one morning to shank it
for a country they call puget sound
[verse 4]
no longer the slave of ambition
i laugh at the world and its shams
and i think of my happy condition
surrounded by acres of clams
[chorus]
surrounded by acres of clams
surrounded by acres of clams
i think of my happy condition
surrounded by acres of clams
[outro]
*whistling*
