(Chorus)

Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye

Stake out your claim now on some other guy

I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone

But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on



Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine

You spent my money like I was a mine

But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone

So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on



You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big

Now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig

Well, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time

This old gravy train is at the end of the line



(Repeat Chorus)



You've been out prospecting all around on the side

But this old mule now, has had his last ride

So start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is gone

The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on



(Repeat Chorus)
