"Mine, Mine, Mine" lyrics
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
The gold of Cortés
The jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like mere trinkets
By this time tomorrow
The gold we find here
Will dwarf them by far
So with all you've got in ya, boys
Dig up Virginia, boys!
Mine, boys, mine every mountain
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop!
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys!
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine!
It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
Oh, how I love it!
Riches for cheap!
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
There'll be heaps of it
And I'll be on top of the heap!
My rivals back home
It's not that I'm bitter
But think how they'll squirm
When they see how I glitter!
The ladies at court will be all a-twitter
The king will reward me
He'll knight me, no, lord me!
It's mine, boys, mine for the taking
It's mine, boys
Mine me that gold!
With those nuggets, dug it
Glory, they'll gimme
My dear friend, King Jimmy
Will probably build me a shrine
When all of the gold is mine!
All of my life, I have searched for a land like this one
Oh, a wilder, more challenging country, I couldn't design
Hundreds of dangers await, and I don't plan to miss one
In a land I can claim, a land I can tame
The greatest adventure is mine!
Keep on working, lads
Don't be shirking, lads
Find the motherload
And go mine me that gold!
Beautiful gold!
Make this island
My land!
Make the mounds big, boys
I'd help you to dig, boys
But I've got this crick in me spine
This land we behold
Such beauty untold
A man can be bold!
It all can be sold!
The gold
All of the gold is mine!
In 1607, we sailed the open sea
For glory, God, and gold in the Virginia Company
For the new world is like heaven, and we'll all be rich and free
Or so we have been told by the Virginia Company
Or so we have been told by the Virginia Company
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
The gold of Cortés
The jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like mere trinkets
By this time tomorrow
The gold we find here
Will dwarf them by far
So with all you've got in ya, boys
Dig up Virginia, boys!
Mine, boys, mine every mountain
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop!
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys!
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine!
It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
Oh, how I love it!
Riches for cheap!
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny
There'll be heaps of it
And I'll be on top of the heap!
