Ricky Warwick - Gold Along the Cariboo lyrics

[Verse 1] We fell onto the sidewalk We fell into the night We fell about when Sailor Sam Got caught up in a fight We raised a gla** to liberty We raised a gla** to home We drank until the daylight Hands cold as Scrabo stone [Chorus] There's gold along the Cariboo From Lillooet to Lac la Hache I'm a million miles from Bradshaw's Brae From the quarry, dust, and ash I'd give my arms to see you all My sight to feel the fire There's gold along the Cariboo And ravens on the wire [Verse 2] It took me years to get my feet warm Or read the letters sent from home I'm far away in Fraser Canyon Where we cut the road from stone There are friends I'll never see again On the darkest street in town Wooden crosses outside Soda Creek Mark the ground where i'll lie down [Chorus] There's gold along the Cariboo From Lillooet to Lac la Hache I'm a million miles from Bradshaw's Brae From the quarry, dust, and ash I'd give my arms to see you all My sight to feel the fire There's gold along the Cariboo And ravens on the wire [Verse 3] Tonight I'll drink my body's weight Tonight I'll use these hands To fight the voice of reason That drives me from these lands There's nothin' left on Bradshaw's Brae Except love and ancient skies There's nothin' in my suitcase Save for hope and long goodbyes I sailed in search of dignity I haven't found it yet No wealth or fool's redemption On the road to Lillooet [Chorus] But there's gold along the Cariboo From Fort Yale to Lac la Hache I'm a million miles from Bradshaw's Brae From the quarry, dust, and ash I'd give my arms to see you all My sight to feel the fire There's gold along the Cariboo And ravens on the wire Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
