As I have gone alone in there
And with my treasures bold,
I can keep my secret where,
And hint of riches new and old.
Begin it where warm waters halt
And take it in the canyon down,
Not far, but too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown.
From there it’s no place for themeek,
The end is ever drawing nigh;
There’ll be no paddle up yourcreek,
Just heavy loads and water high.
If you’ve been wise and found theblaze,
Look quickly down, your quest tocease,
But tarry scant with marvel gaze,
Just take the chest and go inpeace.
So why is it that I must go
And leave my trove for all toseek?
The answers I already know,
I’ve done it tired, and now I’mweak.
So hear me all and listen good,
Your effort will be worth thecold.
If you are brave and in the wood
I give you title to the gold.
