Ramblin' Jack Elliott - Acres of Clams lyrics

I've wandered all over this country Prospecting and digging for gold I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled And I have been frequently sold And I have been frequently sold And I have been frequently sold I've tunneled, hydraulicked and cradled And I have been frequently sold For one who gets riches from mining Perceiving that others grow poor I made up my mind to try farming The only pursuit that is sure The only pursuit that is sure The only pursuit that is sure I made up my mind to try farming The only pursuit that is sure I put all my stuff in a blanket, I've trow'd all my tools on the ground Decided one morning to shank it For a country they call Puget Sound A country they call Puget Sound A country they call Puget Sound Decided one morning to shank it For a country they call Puget Sound No longer the slave of ambition I laugh at the world and it's shams And considered my pleasant condition Surrounded by acres of clams Surrounded by acres of clams Surrounded by acres of clams Considered my pleasant condition Surrounded by acres of clams
