Gold Songtext
von Lorne Greene

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold
Everybody, young and old, wants gold, glittering gold

Now the vain want gold to wear it
The good want gold to share it
The banker wants gold to lend it
We all want gold to spend it

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold
Everybody, young and old, wants gold, glittering gold

Now the miner wants gold to heap it
The miser wants gold to keep it
The wise want gold to use it
But the gambler wants gold to lose it

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold
Everybody, young and old, wants gold, glittering gold

Now gold makes a fine servant but a cruel master
And you know gold has wings?
Well nothin′ can fly away faster


Gold, gold, glittering gold
Gold, gold, glittering gold

Yeah, gold is great for gettin' what pleases the eye
Ah, that is, providin′ you've already got what gold cannot buy

Gold, gold, glittering gold
Gold, gold, glittering gold

Yes, gold is the least of God's great gifts
So take it into your home if you will
But my friend you′re dead at the start
If you take gold into your heart

Gold, gold, glittering gold
Gold, gold, glittering gold

Now the mint wants gold to date it
The jeweler wants gold to plate it
The dentist wants gold to drill it
Every father wants gold to will it


Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold
Everybody, young and old, wants gold, glittering gold
Everybody, everybody, everybody wants gold
Everybody, young and old, wants gold, glittering gold
Everybody wants gold
