Mine, Mine, Mine

The gold of Cortes, the jewels of Pizarro

Will seem like mere trinkets by this time tomorrow

The gold we find here will dwarf them by far

Oh, with all you got in you, boys

Dig up Virginia, boys

Mine, boys, mine every mountain

And dig, boys, dig till you 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

Hey nonny nonny, ho nonny nonny

Ooh, how I love it

Hey nonny nonny, ho nonny nonny

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, mine, mine for the taking

It's mine, boys, mine me that gold

With those nuggets dug, it's

Glory they'll gimme, my dear friend, King Jimmy

Will probably build me a shrine

When all of the gold is mine

Dig, and dig, and dig, and diggety

Dig, and dig, and dig, and diggety-dig

All of my life, I have searched for a land like this one

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

(Mine) Don't be shirking, lads

Mine, boys, mine

Mine me that gold (Dig, dig, and diggety)

Beautiful gold (Dig, dig for that 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

This beauty untold

A man can be bold

It all can be sold

(So go for the gold, we know which is here) And the gold

Is (All the riches here)

Mine (From this minute)

(This land and what's in it is) Mine

Mine (Dig, and dig, and diggety-dig, hey nonny nonny nonny, it's mine!)
