I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State With a nugget around my neck I keep the red lights burning bright from here to Hell and back I've dug for silver and for gold from Boulder up to Haines When I hit Coloma, boys, I made my final claim Crossed the High Sierras in the spring of '48 And every man with a shovel and pan Has stumbled through my gates Behind these doors, whiskey pours and lovin' flows like wine Miners boast of mother lodes they'll dig or else die trying El Dorado, woo-hoo-hoo They come from far and wide to quell the fever in their souls It haunts their brain, they've gone insane For the glimmer of the gold The devil must have drug 'em here down a one-way path 'Cause when you hit Coloma, boys, you never make it back There's Redwood Bill, he can drink his fill And so can John the Rover Bad Luck Dave is in his grave, his gold dust days are over They fill their pans with blood and sand and call to God upstairs But in the golden country, boys, the Lord don't hear your prayers El Dorado, woo-hoo-hoo Cross yourself on Hangman's Hill if you run into Reno Maria When the sky is dark, she can read the stars From Mars to Cassiopeia She comes around when the sun comes down with fortunes to be told For a copper penny, she'll tell you plenty, 'cept where to find the gold Stay away from Snake Oil Jake, he'll fool you with a fountain pen One look in his eyes, you'll be hypnotized, he's got that slight of hand He's sleek and fat like an old tom cat, they say he has nine lives Snake Oil Jake sure met his fate when they shot him down ten times Don't stake your claim with the Dogtown Gang Or the boys from Rough and Ready Don't thumb your nose at the Sydney Cove 'Cause the hammer comes down heavy On every jack who tries to hack his way to fortune fair And comes to find he's last in line to be a millionaire El Dorado, woo-hoo-hoo El Dorado, city of gold, city of fools Heard the news from Siskiyou, the rush is moving on Leaving old Coloma boys and bound for Oregon Here in town the tailing piles have all gone to rust One day you boom, but pretty soon Your booming days are bust So now I sweep the empty streets and boarded up saloon Seen 'em fade from golden days to ghost towns left to ruin Was it worth the blood and dirt to dig our lives away But life goes quick, so come get rich in Californ-I-A El Dorado, woo-hoo-hoo El Dorado, city of gold, city of fools Has the fever got a hold on you? I've seen it, all the rise and fall, and now I take my rest I'm Gold Rush Kate from the Golden State And I'm the last one left

A great song and performance.

by the way does anyone else feel that the fiddle player is unbelievably great

I like how he is the most wonderful person in the sense of humour and honesty because he has had a good deal of hard times

Excellent... Nice guitar with the Thumpy beat and those chords !....flowed with the Vocals perfect. She is Great and Pretty too ! I listen to 106.1 in my car. I hope to hear this Song soon. Bend it Sydney..........

I was listening to a college radio station a few weeks ago wkcr and this song began within a few seconds i knew my life was just enriched by another singer songwriter with her unique way thank you

Amazing man ❤❤

The energy in this performance is infectious! I teared up a little.

fuck this made me bawl my eyes out... rip Scott

Great Song about love. Cut that string ! She sings deep with sweet pitch sifts and feels the words. Bring it Shannon

Miss you lad.

Thank you

Mastermind!

Such a genuine, intimate performance! Only 100 views a year? The algorithm is letting Hiss fans down.

Sawyer, eres muy bueno. Muy buen rift, y vibrato en la VOZ.

Beautiful national

we still miss you Scott ❤️

Such a kind man, so full of talent and great heart. I adore this amazing artist and humanitarian.❤❤

Great. Molt bona

WOW 👍😎

RIP Scott and my friend Max. I miss you both. I've considered joining you both too many times.

The Escort movie brought me here, it reminded me of the time I lived in Rowland Heights 🥲 before I moved to humid Houston TX

Y'all are the best 💕

I was so blessed to see him with Frightened Rabbit back in 08/09 here in NYC at Les Poisson Rouge. Intimate and Pure. As a musician and music journalist, it was a highlight for me. I love him and he is truly missed. Such emotion, so raw, and real! Thank you for your music!! ❤

I'm almost in tears every time I listen to Scott. What an incredible talent he had. Rest in peace.

I got into you late after your passing. You've changed my life and my perspective of everything. Not sure if you'll read this but much respect.

Asco de KZbin.... @youtube.....ficking shit of app....

"We all thought I might change as I got older" resonates with me a bit too painfully

I just discovered Scott. I'm a depressed alcoholic, drug addict....you name it. I only in this moment found out he is no longer with us. My inspiration.

Yes it tiz

the energy they bring to this makes me think something has been severely missing in my life, not having seen them in concert! their recorded stuff is great, but damn

Sadly this song reflects me about my wife Can't get enough of this Track 😎

I'm not having this -- 6 years this video has been up, 400+ people have viewed it, and I'm the first to comment that it's a truly beautiful, heart-felt song. I can listen to it over and over!

No hay día que esta canción no me haga llorar dos años después 🥹🥹❤

beatiful version.i love it.

RIP Scott 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Going through the vids because, well, it's today. Really enjoyed this take of I Wish I Was Sober. Miss you, my man. Fuck, what a poet.

We still miss you Scott

Very nice TJ!

Just discovering Bella White. Really excited to see how she continues to advance in her career!

The time has come!

Too cool!

People cover Scott's songs but nobody plays the guitar lines like he does - he was a subtly fantastic guitar player

🎵

Amazing. RIP Scott😢

Best song about songwriting I've ever heard...

Lovely voice, Lovely tune 🌹🌹

As someone who's battling drink , substance addiction and depression this song is just............ I wish that I was sober. Miss you Scott big man.

She has a beautiful voice. It's a brave song to sing with very bold lyrics. I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the lyrics.
