(Chorus)
  Oh! the gold rush is over so honey bye bye
  Stake out your claim now on some other guy
  I've wined you and dined you 'til my money is gone
  But the gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
  
  Now when I had the money honey, things were just fine
  You spent my money like I was a mine
  But now you mistreat me 'cause my money is gone
  So gold-diggin' Mama, you can start moving' on
  
  You shoveled out the sweet talk when the pay dirt was big
  Now all you shovel out is just a dirty dig
  Well, stop digging honey 'cause you're wasting your time
  This old gravy train is at the end of the line
  
  (Repeat Chorus)
  
  You've been out prospecting all around on the side
  But this old mule now, has had his last ride
  So start walkin' woman 'cause your grubstake is gone
  The gold rush is over and the bum's rush is on
  
  (Repeat Chorus)
