[Gb] The banker came today and found Bobby pitching hay [Eb] by the roadside.
He [Gb] said, this paper in my hand, because I will own this land [Eb] in a few days.
[Gb] Bobby's eyes fell to the ground, he kicked the dirt around [Eb] in silence.
He [Gb] watched the banker [Ab] drive away, [Gb] he knew he could not pay and [Eb] it was over.
But [Gb] you can take a man's gold, [Ab] but you'll never own his soul.
[Gb] The freedom of the soul lasts forever.
[Gb] [Eb]
[Gb] Well, Bobby went to town, searching [Ab] all around [Eb] for a favor.
And [Gb] he found Bo the old town drunk, sleeping [Ab] in his bunk [Eb] and his stable.
He [Gb] said, you've only got one leg, but you won't have to beg [Eb] if you help me.
He said, [Gb] I'm going to sink a well, I'll dig right down to hell [Eb] if I have to.
But you [Gb] can take a man's gold, [Ab] but you'll never own his soul.
[Gb] The freedom of the soul lasts forever.
[Eb]
[Gb] Day and night they worked the well, they slept right where they fell.
But [Eb] it exhausts, there [Gb] was magic in the air.
And neither seemed to care what [Eb] it cost them.

[Eb] They [Ebm] were awakened by a sound, [Ab] a heat rumbling in the ground.
[Ebm] They felt as if an earthquake had [Ab] begun.
[Eb] Mother Nature's precious fruit, [Ebm] it bubbled and it spewed.
And [Eb] exploded like a geyser in the [Ebm] sun.

[Bb] [Eb] [Gb] Bobby went [Ab] to town, [Gb] the people gathered [Ab] round to see him.
There [Gb] was oil [Ab] everywhere, in [Gb] his eyes and in [Bb] his hair, his legs.
[Eb] And [Gb] he took his oil-filled cap [Ab] and he dumped it in the [Ab] lap of [Eb] the banger.
