Jupiter Creek Lyrics

The trees were shakin as the rain came down

I been walkin for days seems like town after town

Well I heard there was gold down

Near old Jupiter Creek

Now Darlin' I swear to God there's

A piece there for me

Well l bought me a claim, had to

Make it my home

To make ends meet 1 sold everything

That I owned

And I got rne a partner 'OI Jim was his name

From dawn to dusk we worked that hole

Each day was the same

(Chorus)

And there's gold in the high country

I've seen it shine with m}' own eyes

I know it's there just waitin for me

And it won't he long till I'll be

Comin home to you

One morning we struck water

It came in so fast

We were sixty feet down the day

That Jim Drowned

I don't know if 1 can last

The day I sold that claim, it near

Brought me to tears

Though it's still in my blood

It's been near three years

Since I heard there was gold down

Near old Jupiter Creek

Well Darlin I still swear to God

There's a piece there for me

Chorus

And it won't be long till I'll be comin home to you
