ONE
TAMMI IS WIGGING OUT
IT’S 1849 AGAIN
TAMMI IS FULL OF DOUBT
ALL SHE REALLY NEEDS IS A FRIEND
SHE’S GOT NO PROSPECTS
BUT SHE’S A PROSPECTOR
TAMMI DOESN’T EXPECT
THAT THEY’LL EVER SUSPECT HER
SHE’S A PLATINUM GLOW
WHEN HER FRIENDS ARE BESIDE HER
TAMMI’S PROUD TO BE
A REAL 49ER!
CH.
SHE’S TURNING CALIFORNIA GOLD INTO MUD…4
TWO
TAMMI IS A PIONEER
SHE’S OUT PANNING GOLD AGAIN
TAMMI’S GOT A 1000 BUCKS
SHE’S AT THE FOREFRONT OF A TREND
BUT ALL HER FRIENDS HAVE RUN AWAY
OR THEY’RE ON THE NOD
OR THEY’RE DOWN ON THEIR KNEES
PRAYING TO THEIR GOD
THAT TAMMI WILL GO AWAY
AND LEAVE THEM ALONE
SHE’S LIKE A DIRTY OLD DOG
SCRATCHING FOR A BONE
CH.
SHE’S AN ALCHEMIST
OR THEREABOUT
SHE PULLS METHAMPHETAMINE
FROM A WATERSPOUT
HER FRIENDS ALL LOVE HER
OR SO SHE THINKS
BUT THEY’RE NOT THIRSTY ANYMORE
THEY DON’T WANT A DRINK
OF HER CALIFORNIA GOLD
THAT’S TURNED INTO MUD
THEIR TEETH HAVE ALL GONE BAD
THEIR EYES ARE FULL OF BLOOD
BUT THEY CAN’T BLAME TAMMI
THAT WOULD BE CLICHÉ
SO THEY PACKED UP THEIR SHIT
AND JUST RAN AWAY…
NOW SHE’S CRIED ALL NIGHT
BUT HER TEARS ARE FUTILE
AND THE PRICE OF CALIFORNIA GOLD’S
GONE UP IN UTAH…
