  {title:Acres of Clams}

  {st:Judge Francis B. Henry}

  {c:tune:Rosin the Beau}

  [C]I've travelled all over this country,

  Prospecting and digging for [F]gold.

  I've [C]tunneled, hydraulic'd and cradled,

  And I have been [G7]frequently [C]sold.

  

  {c:Chorus:}

       And [C]I have been frequently sold,

       And I have been frequently [F]sold.

       I've [C]tunneled, hydraulic'd and cradled,

       And I have been [G7]frequently [C]sold.

  

  For one that get riches by mining,

  Perceiving that hundreds grow poor,

  I made up my mind to try farming,

  The only pursuit that is sure.

  

  {c:Chorus.}

  

  So rolling my grub in my blanket,

  I left all my tools on the ground,

  I started one morning to shank it,

  For a country they call Puget Sound.

  

  {c:Chorus.}

  

  Arriving flat broke in mid winter,

  I found it enveloped in fog,

  And covered all over with timber,

  Thick as hair on the back of a dog.

  

  {c:Chorus.}

  

  I staked out a claim in the forest,

  And set myself down to hard toil,

  For two years I chopped and I loggered,

  But I never got down to the soil.

  

  No longer the slave of ambition,

  I laugh at the world and it's shams,

  I think of my happy condition,

  Surrounded by acres of clams.

  

  {c:Chorus.}
