Golden Hair Lyrics

I was born one hundred years after the Rush of Forty Nine

To a Northern Ontario Gold Miner who said Son go find yourself a Mine

I always felt so useless around his place I was always in the way

The day I left Larder Lake I remember hearing him say

Son go find some Gold out there

Son go find some Gold out there

Well I had a good education and I knew a computer Trick or Two

At first I didn’t look for Gold but that’s what I was finally forced to do

Now that’s when I met her the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen

People told me that they loved her they wished she was their Queen

I called her Golden Hair Golden Hair Golden Hair

She said to me

I think I see some Gold in you

She said

I think I see some Gold in you

Now these words they were so simple but I would not understand

My father had always told me the Gold is in the Land

In mountains desert hills in streams or under the sea

But never had my father told me there was any GOLD in ME

And sometimes I cried daddy dad

I love you dad I love you Daddy

Now we headed out into the Desert Hills where I found ourselves a mine

And she toiled along beside me underground we were almost blind

A Strike that’s what we needed we had time for one more blast

And when the dust finally cleared in my hand was Gold at last

And I cried to her Golden Hair Golden Hair Golden Hair

We'd better run for the entrance now it’s caving in on us

I cried run for the entrance now it’s caving in on us

The pain the pain oh the pain I felt the pain

Now at the funeral Parlor at her coffin that lay there

I hide that gold in those hands I kissed that Golden Hair

Then I turned I saw my father he'd come to comfort me

My father was a gold miner and now the surprise you see

Yah my father found the Gold in me

Yes my father found the Gold in me

Yes father found the gold in me

Father found gold in me

Yes my father found the gold in me yah
