Gold Rush Brides by 10,000 Maniacs


Follow the typical signs the hand-painted lines

Down prairie roads pass the lone church spire

Pass the talking wire from where to who knows?

 

There's no way to divide the beauty of the sky

From the wild western plains

Where a man could drift in legendary myth by roaming over spaces

 

The land was free and the price was right

 

Dakota on the wall is a white-robed woman broad yet maidenly

Such power in her hand as she hails the wagon man's family

I see indians that crawl through this mural that recalls our history

Who were the homestead wives?

Who were the gold rush brides? does anybody know?

Do their works survive their yellow fever lives in the pages they wrote?

 

The land was free yet it cost their lives

 

In miner's lust for gold

A family's house was bought and sold piece by piece

A widow staked her claim on a dollar and his name so painfully

 

In letters mailed back home her eastern sisters

They would moan as they would read

Accounts of madness childbirth loneliness and grief

 

Accounts of madness childbirth loneliness and grief

Accounts of madness childbirth loneliness and grief
