[Verse 1]
Em D
I'm old Tom Moore, from the bummer’s shore,
C B7 Em
In the good old golden days.
Em D
They call me a bummer, and a gin sot too,
C B7 Em
But what cares I for praise?
Em G
I wonder ‘round from town to town,
Em B7
Just like a roving sign,
Em D
And the people say, “There goes Tom Moore,
C B7 Em
Of the days of forty-nine.
[Chorus]
Em G
In the days of old, in the days of gold,
Em B7
How oft-times I re-pine
Em D
For the days of old when we dug up the gold
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Verse 2]
Em D
My comrades, they all loved me well,
C B7 Em
A jolly and saucy crew.
Em D
A few hard cases I’ll admit,
C B7 Em
Though they were brave and true.
Em G
What-ever the pinch they’d never flinch,
Em B7
They’d never fret or whine.
Em D
Like the good old bricks, they stood the kicks,
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Verse 3]
Em D
There was New York Jake, the butchers boy,
C B7 Em
Who was always getting’ tight.
Em D
And ev’ry time he’d drink his fill,
C B7 Em
He was spoilin’ for a fight.
Em G
But Jack rampaged a-gainst the blade,
Em B7
In the hands of ‘ol Bob Stein.
Em D
And over Jake, we held a wake,
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Chorus]
Em G
In the days of old, in the days of gold,
Em B7
How oft-times I re-pine
Em D
For the days of old when we dug up the gold
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.

[Verse 4]
Em D
There was Poker Bill, one of the boys,
C B7 Em
Who was always in for a game.
Em D
And whether he won, or whether he lost,
C B7 Em
To him ‘twas all the same.
Em G
He’d ante up and draw his cards,
Em B7
And go you a hatful blind.
Em D
But in the game with death, Bill lost his breath
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Verse 5]
Em D
There was Roarin’ Bill from Buffalo,
C B7 Em
I never will for-get.
Em D
He’d roar all day and he’d roar all night
C B7 Em
And I guess he’s a roarin’ yet.
Em G
He fell into a prospect hole,
Em B7
In a roarin’ bad de-sign.
Em D
And in that hole roared out his sole.
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Chorus]
Em G
In the days of old, in the days of gold,
Em B7
How oft-times I re-pine
Em D
For the days of old when we dug up the gold
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Verse 6]
Em D
There was Old Lame Jess, a hard ‘ol cuss,
C B7 Em
Who never did re-pent.
Em D
He was never known to miss a drink,
C B7 Em
Or to ever spend a cent.
Em G
But Old Lame Jess, like all the rest,
Em B7
To death he did re-sign.
Em D
And in his bloom, went up the floom.
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Verse 7]
Em D
Of all the comrades I have known,
C B7 Em
There’s none that’s left to boast.
Em D
And I’m all alone in my misery,
C B7 Em
Like some poor wandering ghost.
Em G
And as I pass from town to town,
Em B7
They call me the rambling sign,
Em D
“There goes Tom Moore, a bummers’ shore,
C B7 Em
From the days of forty-nine.
[Chorus]
Em G
In the days of old, in the days of gold,
Em B7
How oft-times I re-pine
Em D
For the days of old when we dug up the gold
C B7 Em
In the days of forty-nine.
[Tag]
G B7 Em
From the days of forty-nine.
[Outro]
