Recorded by Hank Snow written by Cindy Walker
G
Oh the gold rush is over so honey bye-bye
C G
Stake out your claim now on some other guy
D7
I've wined you and dined you till my money is gone
G D7 G
But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
N.C.
Now when I had the money honey things were just fine
C G
You spent my money like I was a mine
D7
But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone
G D7 G
So gold digging Mama you can start moving on

You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big
C G
But now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig
D7
Well stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time
G D7 G
This old gravy train is at the end of the line
G
Oh the gold rush is over so honey bye-bye
C G
Stake out your claim now on some other guy
D7
I've wined you and dined you till my money is gone
G D7 G
But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
N.C.
You've been out prospecting all around on the side
C G
But this old mule now has had his last ride
D7
So start walking woman 'cause your grubstake is gone
G D7 G
The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
G
Oh the gold rush is over so honey bye-bye
C G
Stake out your claim now on some other guy
D7
I've wined you and dined you till my money is gone
G D7 G
But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
