Lyrics El Dorado - Jim Lauderdale

Jack of all trade, I mastered them all but one
Like it says on my calling card that will be done
I was a sailor once, you better believe it so
I sailed six of the seven seas

Looking for El Dorado
Now it can't be done
I'm still searching for
The city of solid gold

Jack of all trades been looking both high and low
I search closer to home these days, you never know
I was a sailor once until I ran out of sea
Now I'm down on my knees

Looking for El Dorado
Just like days of old
Rays of the setting sun
City of gold

If you don't believe me why should I believe in you?
To set sail in eternity, let love be true
All that I'm saying, you can check your dream at the door
Don't run off and forget

El Dorado
Where winters never cold
No frosty winds to blow
City of gold

I am searching for El Dorado the seven cities of gold
You be on all that, I asked it might be torn
You only look like me, so how can I be sure?
I can't trust my memory, it might be yours

They chase me down, be a
I'm a jack of all trades out of my way
I was a sailor once, you better believe it so
Sailed six of the seven seas

Looking for El Dorado
Now it can't be done
I'm still searching for
The city of solid gold

El Dorado
Just like days of old
The rays of the setting sun
The city of solid gold
