lyrics

Digging up Fools Gold (Words & Music Baxter Stone)

Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
Don’t go down that lonely shaft
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
You’ll never ever come back

When summer rains come again
I’m gonna dance outside
and wash away the dirt
in side my heart and mind

Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
Don’t go down that lonely shaft
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
You’ll never ever come back

I lie awake at night
I hear those planes overhead
Look out my window
At the ships off the shore
Oh I wish that I could be with them
On that plane I hear
On that ship I see
On that plane I hear
On that ship I see
On the Plane taking people far away
On that ship heading to a distant shore
Don’t go digging up fools gold
Don’t go down that lonely shaft
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
You’ll never ever come back

Singing touch songs and dreaming of a place
I wandered here and I was fishing there
And wondered what to say
I waited for a year I waited for a day
I tried resolved what I should say
Breakfast conversions my mind just drifts away
Should I write you a letter
Sing you a song
Sit on your doorstep
Looking forlorn Should I do nothing
Should I just forget it
Breakfast conversion
My mind just drifts away

Ah honey don’t go digging up fools gold
Don’t go down that lonely shaft
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
You’ll never ever come back
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
Don’t go digging up dirt
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
You’ll never ever ever ever come back
Honey don’t go digging up fools gold
