Jackass Hill
   G                        C
Well, they pocket mined the mountains
                              G
Around Jackass Hill, so I am told
     C                           
The Cherokee, and Turnback Creeks
         G           D7       G
All were seeking the Mother Lode

Chorus:
   G                     C
Twain hauled buckets of water
                           G
To wash the mountain side soil
                         C
Then quit, would go no further
                        G            D7     G
And stopped one bucket short of the Mother Lode

                                    C
The rains came, and washed the soil away
                                     G
Others came, finding the gold nugget line,
                                   C
That eventually lead them to the Mother Lode
                   D7         G
Which became the Morgan Gold Mine

                              C
Well, they called it Jackass Hill
                          G
Named for the two hundred mules
                           C
That supplied those pocket miners
    G           D7       G
Looking for pockets of gold

                                  C
Tag: They quit and would go no further,
                            G           D7      G
 	 Stopped one bucket short of the Mother Lode
