Dig for it, deep in the dark, find nuggets Hard labor, swinging pick axe and shovels It’s not a claim that is settled for a pittance ’Cause the vein we’re over has given us its riches Dig for it, deep in the dark, find nuggets Hard labor, swinging pick axe and shovels It’s not a claim that is settled for a pittance ’Cause the vein we’re over has given us its riches Chipping at the mountain side Down where the veins are hidden It’s not a waste ’cause I’ll reach down in the river bed Am I lucky panning in the silt? Don’t even know how to quit To find a flake and feel the fever burning in the mud This isn’t easy, this machine works well No light in tunnels, I’ll find it I can swear Dig for it, deep in the dark, find nuggets Hard labor, swinging pick axe and shovels It’s not a claim that is settled for a pittance ’Cause the vein we’re over has given us its riches I see that glitter and gold Sift through it, how can I say no? One, two, strike low I could dig and find much more Become a heavy nugget in the pan One percent found in the dirt This is what I love to call wealth Forget how cold and hard is the cave Admire the shine and I know that I am tired Oh, sift for it, find all the dust and nuggets Hard labor, swinging pick axe and shovels It’s not a claim that is settled for a pittance ’Cause the vein we’re over has given us its riches Foreman said the shaft is deep for me Hey, rock blast! What I have panned is the heavy haul They dream of the striking My goal, the silver discovery And ran washing the silt away Okay, who saw and caught the glint? And ran with pans, singing a song Dig for it, deep in the dark, find nuggets Hard labor, swinging pick axe and shovels It’s not a claim that is settled for a pittance ’Cause the vein we’re over has given us its riches Dig for it, dig for it Dig for it, dig for it Dig for it, dig for it Dig for it, dig for it
