Before the Gold Rush

The gold rush is on And I'm leaving you, Mom The casons are rolling along Well, I know that sister's Still living in sin When I've time I'll judge her again I tried my best Like you said I tried my best Like you said Good friends are wishing Goodbyes and good lucks While husbands and wives have a last hug Well, I drank till I was unable to stand The sickle, the noose, and the firebrand I tried my best Like you said I tried my best Like you said Waste, I'm a waste of time Waste, I'm a waste of time Waste, I'm a waste of time Waste, I'm a waste of time So I tried, and I tried But it all went wrong So I tried, and I tried But it all went wrong (Oh, my best) You were my trumpeter swan, all along My trumpeter swan, all along, my trumpeter swan
