OPENER
She got the gold mine, I got the...
Sides Face, Grand Square.
Well I guess it was back in `63 when my cookin' got the better of me,
So I asked this little girl I was goin' with to be my wife.
Well, she said she would, so I said "I do", but I would of said I wouldn't,
If I had just knew how saying "I do" was gonna screw up the rest of my life.
Circle to the Left. She got the gold mine, I got the shaft.
Allemande Left the corner, Swing the partner, Promenade.
Well it all sounds sorta funny, but it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft.
FIGURE
Heads [sides] Square Thru 4 hands.
Do Sa Do the corner, Swing Thru.
Spin the Top, Right & Left Thru.
Send her back, Flutter Wheel, Sweep 1/4 more.
Swing the corner, Promenade.
Well it all sounds sorta funny, but it hurts too much to laugh.
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft.
MIDDLE BREAK
Sides Face, Grand Square.
Well it wasn't too long till the lust all died; I admit I wasn't too surprised,
When I came home and found my suitcase setting out in the front porch.
Well I tried to get in, she changed the lock, then I found a note on the mailbox.
It said "So long, turkey, my attorney will be in touch."
I decided to give her her share... Circle to the Left.
She got the gold mine, I got the shaft.

CLOSER
They gave her the color television set, the house, the kids and both cars.
I'm tellin' you, son, they have made a mistake; it all adds up to more than this
cowboy makes.
While she's livin' like a queen on alimony, I'm workin' two shifts, eatin' bologna.
I'm totin' food stamps, get it, Judge, you hillbilly?
