In seventeen sixty-three With Cathrines love from overseas I grew from a lowly seed Fur trappers didn't want poor me I grew tall and strong Under the shadow of a devils thumb In eighteen and twenty-four They couldn't find fur no more My home was sold to Americans An acre cost just two cents I grew tall and strong Under the shadow of a devils thumb My roots taste rivers and sea My children moved south without me One day man came for gold Oh I want gold For that they left me alone Yeah I want gold Then oil found in Prudhoe bay Yeah I want oil For fifty years more I could stay Yeah I want oil I grew tall and strong Under the shadow of a devils thumb My roots taste rivers and sea The world changed all around me My brothers went on to the mill For bibles spars and window sills Cut me down and sawed my heart I ended up as Ed's guitar Standing there in my prime Cut me down two thousand nine Ship me down to El Cajon With ebony gold and abalone I want gold I grew tall and strong Yeah I want gold Now I'm glued to rosewood for a song Yeah I want oil I'll never taste the sea again Yeah I want oil I'm dried up and strung out since twenty-ten I'm dried up and strung out I'm dried up and strung out
