Rawhide where did you go   X3
Where’s Mrs. Rechels wooden floor
Rawhide where did you go   X3
Where’s Mrs. Rechels wooden floor

Arriving red light district of once a lively town
Seven thousand mouths to feed now buried in the ground
Nourished by the treasures of the plain, old, dusty rocks
The town grew prosperous from the Rawhide rustlers socks

Gold came running from the mine   X3
A black spot of Nevada once looking fine
Gold came running from the mine   X3
There were bars ‘n’ schools ‘n’ churches and many wheres to dine
Gold came running from the mine

Through the lifespan of a hedgehog the town began to fade
It didn’t help when fire struck in nineteen o’ eight
Then came flood and it left a hollow shell
They said this would be heaven
Turned out to be hell (but)

Gold came running from the mine   X3
A black spot of Nevada once looking fine
Gold came running from the mine   X3
There were bars ‘n’ schools ‘n’ churches and many wheres to dine
(...) And the gold came running

Rawhide where did you go   X3
Where’s Mrs. Rechels wooden floor
Rawhide where did you go   X3
Where’s Mrs. Rechels wooden floor

The open pit makes my heart sore   X3
Where’s Mrs. Rechels wooden floor
The open pit makes my heart sore   X3
Where’s Mrs. Rechels wooden floor

Gold came running from the mine   X3
A black spot of Nevada once looking fine
Gold came running from the mine   X3
There were bars ‘n’ schools ‘n’ churches and many wheres to dine
Gold came running from the mine
