lyrics

PORT JACKSON BLUES

IF I CAN’T FIND MY FORTUNE, I WILL NEVER BE YOUR MAN
AS I TRAVEL TO THIS GOLD FIELD, HALF A SHILLING AND A PLAN
CAME A LONG WAY FROM THE MOUNTAINS, PRAY THE LORD WILL GUIDE MY HANDS
AS I WRESTLE WITH THE EARTH TO PULL A BOUNTY FROM THE SAND

I AIN’T NEVER TOUCHED THAT LIQUOR, NEVER GAMBLED FOR MY LIFE
WHEN THE DEVIL COMES A CALLING, I JUST NEED A PLACE TO HIDE
IT’S A FILTHY, STINKING LIVING, DIGGING DITCHES IN THE EARTH
ONLY BOUGHT A ONE WAY TICKET, TAKE MY CHANCES WITH THE DIRT

IF MOTHER EARTH WON’T GIVE UP WHAT I NEED
I PRAY THE LORD WON’T SPARE ME IN MY SLEEP
PORT JACKSON BLUES

TERRIFIED THE GOOD LORD STEER ME WRONG
TRAVELED WAY TOO FAR TO NOT GO ON
FATE AWAITS MY PASSAGE IN THE GROUND
I WON’T BE RETURNING TIL THAT GOLD DUST PAINTS THE TOWN

KISS ME ONCE MORE DARLING, I’LL BE HEADED ON MY WAY
OFF TO FIND MY ONLY FORTUNE, OR I’LL PERISH FROM THE SHAME
SAY A PRAYER TO OLD JAMES DALEY, MAY THE JOURNEY KEEP ME SAFE
BUT IF I DON’T FIND MY FORTUNE, I’LL BE BURIED WITH MY NAME
