The thing that caused people from the world over to travel to the wilds of BC in the mid 1800's

lyrics

The Value of Gold
Don’t know when we started dreamin – bout a land with nuggets gleamin
But soon we all were streaming off to where that oughta be
It was a mighty rally – the smart ones didn’t dally
We journeyed to this valley of the great discovery

Chorus
Where you are what you find or can neatly designg
Or have shifted or serviced or sold
Break you back or rack your brain we’re all lookin for the same
Something worthy the value of gold

So our dreams did not unravel - not for all the toil and travel
They’re sitting in the gravel of this place we wanna be
Some of us are thriving – some of us are just surviving
Whatever way we’re striving there is but one guarantee

Chorus
Musical Interlude

We’ve heard bout Mr. Barker
Heard bout Mr. Cameron
The other ones they’re clamorin bout in our community
So the rest of us are driven – with whatever skills we’re given
We’re dreamin bout and living for our own discovery

Chorus

Ross Douglas SOCAN
