歌词
Well, I don't know, but I've been told
虽然我不知道，但确实有听说
Uranium ore's worth more than gold
铀矿比金子还要值钱
Sold my Cad', I bought me a Jeep
于是我卖了小轿车，换了辆吉普
I've got that bug and I can't sleep
我对此陷入沉迷而夜不能寐
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘铀热让我陷入了疯狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每个人都会知道淘铀热
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要盖格计数器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
我就能给自己划点矿地
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘铀热可真是让我陷入了疯狂啊
Well I had talk with the AEC
我跟原委会的人谈了谈
And they brought out some maps that looked good to me
然后他们给了我份看起来不错的地图
And one showed me a spot that he said he knowed
其中一人给我指明一他知道的地方
So I straddled my jeep and headed down the road
接着我跳进吉普便径直上了路
I reckon I drove about 100 miles
我估摸着跑了有百英里
Down a bumpy road out through the wilds
行进在崎岖不平的荒野上
When all of sudden I bounced to a stop
就在这时我突然撞上了某个"站牌"
At the foot of a mountain, didn't have no top
不过在山脚下可不存在什么车站
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘铀热让我陷入了疯狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每个人都会知道淘铀热
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要盖格计数器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land

Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘铀热可真是让我陷入了疯狂啊
Well I took my Geiger and I started to climb
于是我带上计数器就开始爬起来
Right up to the top where I thought I'd find
远望山顶我想我发现了
A hunk of rock that would make it click
一大块啪嗒作响的巨石
Just like I'd read about Vernon Pick
就像Vernon Pick书里所说的那样
On the second day, I made the top
就在第二天，我终于到了山顶
And I'm tellin' you, Steve, I was ready to stop
我跟你说，Steve 这时我也正好准备暂时休息下
The only clickin' that I heard that day
因为那天我听到的唯一的噼啪声
Was the bones in my back that had gone astray
就来源于我那后背忘记自己位置的骨头们
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘铀热让我陷入了疯狂
Uranium fever is spreadin' all around
不久每个人都会知道淘铀热
With a Geiger counter in my hand
只要盖格计数器拿在手
I'm a-goin' out to stake me some government land
我就能给自己划点矿地
Uranium fever has done and got me down
淘铀热可真是让我陷入了疯狂啊
Well, you pack up your things
接着你打包东西
You head out again
再次前进
Into some unknown spot where nobody's been
在某个不为人知的地方
You reach the spot where your fortune lies
你终于到达了财宝的所在地
You find it's been staked by 17 other guys
你却发现那儿早被其他的17个家伙给占领了
Well, I ain't kiddin', I ain't gonna quit
好吧我不说笑我并不打算退出
That bug's done caught me and I've been bit
对金钱的沉迷早已把我的理智击倒
So with a Geiger counter and a pick in my hand
只要我手上还拿着计数器和镐
I'll keep right on stakin' that government land
我就要继续为自己去找铀矿
Uranium fever has done and got me down
