Banjo Tuned E, Key G, Capo 3
Jackass Hill
WelGl, they pocket mined the Cmountains
Around Jackass Hill, so I am tGold
The CCherokee, and Turnback Creeks
All were Gseeking the D7Mother LoGde
[Chorus]
TwaGin hauled buckets of wCater
To wash the mountain side sGoil
Then quit, would go no fuCrther
And stopped one bucket sGhort of the MD7other LGode
The rains came, and washed the soil Caway
Others came, finding the gold nugget Gline,
That eventually lead them to the MoCther Lode
Which became the MoD7rgan Gold MGine
Well, they called it Jackass HCill
Named for the two hundred Gmules
That supplied those pocket Cminers
LookGing for pockD7ets of goGld
They quit and would go no fCurther,
Stopped one bucket Gshort of the D7Mother GLode

Jackass Hill

Banjo Tuned E, Key G, Capo 3

Jackass Hill

G C

Well, they pocket mined the mountains

Around Jackass Hill, so I am told

The Cherokee, and Turnback Creeks

G D7 G

All were seeking the Mother Lode

[Chorus]

G C

Twain hauled buckets of water

To wash the mountain side soil

Then quit, would go no further

G D7 G

And stopped one bucket short of the Mother Lode

The rains came, and washed the soil away

Others came, finding the gold nugget line,

That eventually lead them to the Mother Lode

D7 G

Which became the Morgan Gold Mine

Well, they called it Jackass Hill

Named for the two hundred mules

That supplied those pocket miners

G D7 G

Looking for pockets of gold

They quit and would go no further,

G D7 G

Stopped one bucket short of the Mother Lode
