Lyrics:

Heres a little story about a fellow by the name of Sam Tucker.
Best damn gold miner that ever lived in the fine state of Alabama
But he never did cash in before he died
In fact, some people same old Sams gold
Is still high up there in them hills.
Well, when Sam first struck gold,
The legend says you could hear him singing miles around.

Chorus:
Theres gold, gold, gold in the mountains, in the mountains
In the creek, in the creek, deep, deep, deep
Taking the dirt, taking the dirt to the...
Its gonna run, run, run,
Run like the river on the mountain, son!
.. pretty little girl in Georgia.

Sam Tucker was an angry motherfucker
From way up in the hills of Alabama.
Story goes he turned mud into gold
Till his beard grew long grey and white.
But old Sam, he never lived in no mansion
He stayed up the hills till the day that he died.
And Lord knows where his fortune lays still
But to find it, damn right Im gonna try!
Any luck, one day you gonna hear me running down that mountain side
Just for singing

Chorus:
Theres gold, gold, gold in the mountains, in the mountains
In the creek, in the creek, deep, deep, deep
Taking the dirt, taking the dirt to the...
Its gonna run, run, run,
Run like the river on the mountain, son!
.. pretty little girl in Georgia.

So I set out on a life long journey
To find old Sams gold.
But Alabama is pretty big,
So I asked the town for any clues
About the legend about gold.
The story goes down there by the creek
Is where old Sam Tuckers state is claimed.
Legend says on the forth night of full moon
You can still hear old Sam sing.
So I set up camp, down there by the creek
Just about the time .. broke free.
I swear I heard old Sams voice .. through the hills,
If Im not mistaken, I heard a fiddle in there, too.
So I followed the voice that I hear through the thickest of the brightest pines.
I saw a shadow of an old grey man
Sneaking back to the mouth of his gold mine.
I wasnt scared till he saw me standing there
He said, boy, youll never take this gold alive!
Found Sam Tucker, an evil motherfucker
And that happened since the day that I died!
But he said, he said, he said
You better run, run, run..
