Lyrics

The specifics are minor but the bare bones are there
I'm a late forty-niner, rugged Chinese miner
Mother Lands perish for Mother Lode's promise
of riches and freedom and gold by the nugget
Though it may seem unfair, poor prospects we share
Our efforts combining we managed to bear
A Chinaman's chance in hell is a bet
But progress is promised if I persevere
A dried flower cluster tumbles away
The wind is a whisper, hollowing air
The value of life is something to prove
Our singular paths, the road that we choose
