Uranium Fever

歌詞

From the California mountains into New Mexico Cross the state of Arizona where the Gila River flows In the mountains down in Texas all along the Rio Grande From Mojave, Colorado out across the Utah sands They are searchin' every mountain, they are turnin' every stone The strangest band of hunters that the West has ever known While they trod across the desert as if guided by a star They are searchin' ever searchin', oh what are they searchin' for? Refrain: Why it's uranium fever that's got ‘em on the go How they stand the pace is somethin' I will never know But they go right on a-searchin', just hopin' they will find Hidden far off in the mountains there a rich uranium mine They camp out on the desert and they're up before the sun They hunt with Geiger counters instead of with a gun They're not bothered by the weather while they're always on the go They don't seem to mind the desert sun or the winter snow They may never find a strike but hope is always there For deep inside each one's the wish to be a millionaire It's not silver they are seekin', it's not gold of any kind They're not searchin' through the mountains for the old Lost Dutchman Mine
