Recorded by Hank SnowWords and music by Cindy WalkerCHORUSGOh! the gold rush is over so honey bye-byeC GStake out your claim now on some other guyD7I've wined you and dined you till my money is goneG D7 GBut the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on.GNow when I had the money honey, things were just fineC GYou spent my money like I was a mineD7But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is goneG D7 GSo gold- diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on.You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was bigBut now all you shovel out is just a dirty digWell, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your timeThis old gravy train is at the end of the line.CHORUSYou've been out prospecting all around on the sideBut this old mule now, has had his last rideSo start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is goneThe gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on.CHORUSSOURCE: More Hank Snow Souvenirs; 1964 RCA LP-2812
