[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
AmI'm old Tom Moore from the Gbummer's shore in the Amgood old Ggolden Amdays
AmThey call me a bummer and a Gginsot too, but Amwhat cares GI for pAmraise?
I Cwander around from Amtown to town just Clike a roving Amsign
And Call the people say, "There Amgoes Tom Moore, in the Gdays of '49"Am  
In the Fdays of old, in the Cdays of gold
How Foft'times I reCpine for the Fdays of old
When we Cdug up the gold, in the Amdays of '49.
[Verse 2]
AmMy comrades they all Gloved me well, a Amjolly Gsaucy Amcrew
AmA few hard cases I Gwill recall though Amthey all were Gbrave and Amtrue
WhatCever the pinch they Amnever would flinch, they Cnever would fret or Amwhine
Like Cgood old bricks they Amstood the kicks in the Gdays of '49Am  
In the Fdays of old, in the Cdays of gold
How Foft'times I reCpine for the Fdays of old
When we Cdug up the gold, in the Amdays of '49.
[Verse 3]
AmThere was New York Jake, the Gbutcher's boy, he was Amalways Ggetting Amtight
AmAnd every time that he'd Gget full he was Amspoiling Gfor a Amfight
But CJake rampaged aAmgainst a knife in the Chands of old Bob AmStein
And Cover Jake they Amheld a wake in the Gdays of '49Am  
In the Fdays of old, in the Cdays of gold
How Foft'times I reCpine for the Fdays of old
When we Cdug up the gold, in the Amdays of '49.
[Verse 4]
AmThere was Poker Bill, Gone of the boys who was Amalways Gin a Amgame
AmWhether he lost or Gwhether he won, to Amhim it was Galways the Amsame
He would Cante up and Amdraw his cards and he Cwould you go a hatfull Amblind
In the Cgame with death Bill Amlost his breath, in the Gdays of '49 Am'oh my goodness'
In the Fdays of old, in the Cdays of gold
In the Fday'times I reCpine in the Fdays of old
In the Cdays of gold, those where Amdays of '49.
[Verse 5]
AmThere was Ragshag Bill from GBuffalo, I Amnever Gwill Amforget
AmHe would roar all day and he'd Groar all night and I Amguess he's Groaring Amyet
One Cday he fell in a Amprospect hole, in a Croaring bad deAmsign
And Cin that hole he Amroared out his soul, in the Gdays of '49Am  
In the Fdays of old, in the Cdays of gold
How Foft'times I reCpine for the Fdays of old
When we Cdug up the gold, in the Amdays of '49.
[Verse 6]
AmOf the comrades all Gthat I've had, there's Amnone that's Gleft to Amboast
AmAnd I'm left alone in my Gmisery like Amsome poor Gwandering Amghost
And I Cpass by from Amtown to town, they Ccall me the rambling Amsign
"There Cgoes Tom Moore, a Ambummer shore in the Gdays of '49 Am"
In the Fdays of old, in the Cdays of gold
How Foft'times I reCpine for the Fdays of old
When we Cdug up the gold, in the Amdays of '49.
And the Fdays of old when we Cdug up the gold
How Foft'times I reCpine In the Fdays of old
In the Cdays of gold in the Amdays of '49. wooh!
