Goldmine Blues In Dublin Town 1842 My blood was born Ready for you Perfect sunrise Early '86 A score and two days You were my fix And I don't own the ocean And I don't own these notes The riches inside me Never need locks Thoughts of your smile That run in my mind Are priceless treasure And a goldmine And I don't own this rain storm And no warmth I can feel But I've got some riches That no one can steal Cause thoughts of your voice That run in my mind Are priceless treasure They are a gold mine I'm not too smart I'm not too dumb I'll care for you are And whom you'll become |
This song is from the album Ghosts That Linger. The inspiration for this tune comes from Old Time music -- a genre of American music that predates Bluegrass. Much of its repertoire is vocal only, because people who wrote these tunes couldn't afford instruments, and a fiddle player was valuable because they could make you dance. Speaking of fiddles, Goldmine Blues features Christine Wu who wrote, arranged, played, and recorded the violins and celli. Credits:
