Well the pickaxe on my shoulder
Glimpse of steel in the morning sun
And the sweat runs in my eyes
As my work is almost done
Well I’m running short of water
And my back is racked with pain
As I paved the burning desert
And I beg and prayed for rain
Well I’ve been working in this Rocky Mountain mine
‘Cause I’ve been told
If I see the devil’s daughter
I can reach the summer gold
But the heat plays tricks upon my mind
I see a temptress in the mine
She beckons me in a voice so sweet
Go and drink the bitter creek
She reaches out to take my hand
Says I’ll take you from the burning sand
If you give me your life and soul
And I’ll give you - summer gold
She is younger and more beautiful
Than all that I would tell
And she smiles so soft and gentle
As she cast her evil spell
Well she makes me feel so restful
As she shows me valleys green
As she points me to the water
In the cold clear-running stream
She shows me diamonds
That are bigger than my hand could ever hold
I’ll behind her lies a fortune
In the yellow summer gold
But the heat plays tricks upon my mind
I see a temptress in the mine
She beckons me in a voice so sweet
Go and drink the bitter creek
She reaches out to take my hand
Says I’ll take you from the burning sand
If you give me your life and soul
And I’ll give you – summer gold
Well I walked towards her slowly
And I gazed into her eyes
But I know that if I drink that poisoned water
I would die
But she taunts me with her beauty
And I almost take her hand
‘Til I see the bones of the other fools
Who died on the burning sand
But I would rather die a poor man
Than the devil take my soul
So I turned my back and walked away
On all the summer gold
But the heat plays tricks upon my mind
I see a temptress in the mine
She beckons me in a voice so sweet
Go and drink the bitter creek
She reaches out to take my hand
Says I’ll take you from the burning sand
If you give me your life and soul
And I’ll give you - summer gold
But the heat plays tricks upon my mind
I see a temptress in the mine
She beckons me in a voice so sweet…
