I am bound for the promised land,
I'm bound for the promised land
Oh who will come and go with me
I am bound for the promised land
We'll explore the western shore,
we'll fill our pockets with the the golden ore.
It's been found just lyin' around
in a bushel and a peck all over the ground
Then ho, boys, ho! to California go!
There's plenty of gold in the world I'm told
on the banks of the Sacramento.
(That) gold out there is ev'rywhere
and ev'rybody is a millionaire.
It's so thick we'll get rich quick
just pickin' up a chunk as big as a brick.
Then ho, boys, ho! to California go!
There's plenty of gold in the world I'm told
on the banks of the Sacramento.
There's plenty of gold
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
Where I'll build you a home in the meadow
The stars, the stars
Oh how bright they'll shine
On a world the Lord must have helped design
The stars, the stars
Oh how bright they'll shine
On that home we will build in the meadow
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
For the hopeful heart, for the willing hand
Come, Come
There's a wondrous land
Where I'll build you a home in the meadow.
Home in the meadowοΌ
