It's Gold
It's gold it's gold it's gold came the cry from Sacramento
It's gold it's gold it's gold
John Marshall came a ridin' his findins to report
Showed the gold to Colonel Sudder there at Sudder's fort
It's rich by joe said the Colonel and the news spread all around
And it started thousands sayin' I'm California bound
It's gold it's gold it's gold...
Yeah the hills were full of miners they seemed to come in droves
And everyone was looking for that solid vein of gold
They were very few who found it and the others changed their plans
Those farmers would be miners became farmers once again
It's gold it's gold it's gold...
And the sweethearts left behind them soon were on their way
Out to California where they put down roots to stay
In the California valleys that rich and fertile land
Well they found the gold more lasting than the gold they came to pan
It's gold it's gold it's gold...
Es oro
Es oro, es oro, es oro, llegó el grito desde Sacramento
Es oro, es oro, es oro
John Marshall llegó cabalgando para informar sus hallazgos
Mostró el oro al Coronel Sudder en el fuerte de Sudder
¡Es rico, por Dios! dijo el Coronel y la noticia se propagó por todas partes
Y comenzaron a decir miles de personas: ¡Voy rumbo a California!
Es oro, es oro, es oro...
Sí, las colinas estaban llenas de mineros, parecían llegar en multitudes
Y todos buscaban esa veta sólida de oro
Muy pocos la encontraron y los demás cambiaron sus planes
Esos granjeros que querían ser mineros volvieron a ser granjeros
Es oro, es oro, es oro...
Y las novias que dejaron atrás pronto emprendieron su camino
Hacia California, donde echaron raíces para quedarse
En los valles de California, esa tierra rica y fértil
Bueno, encontraron un oro más duradero que el oro que vinieron a buscar
Es oro, es oro, es oro...
