lyrics

Dirt and Heartache- JG Stott

He came on the train in 1899, looking for riches down in the mines.
But the money in mining ain’t down in the hole, and a man with a shovel, never finds that much gold.

He met her in Juno, in the heat of the rush.
He’d found him a nugget, and was feeling real flush.
They married so quickly no time for regret.
He was moving real fast, but he wasn’t there yet,
but he wasn’t there yet

Dirt and heartache is all that you get.
You think it’s the worst but the worst ain’t here yet.
If they gave you a choice kid you wouldn’t take that bet,
Cause dirt and heartache are all that you’d get.

They spent the winter in a shack on the claim.
The cold and the boredom must have drove her insane.
She walked out in a blizzard, wearing only her lace.
He searched ‘til springtime, but he found not a trace,
no he found not a trace

The bottom dropped out, he couldn’t take any more.
Packed up his things, tacked a note to the door.
The shack stands there still, in the middle of the claim.
And late in the winter, the wind whispers her name,
oh it whispers her name.
