Mine, Mine, Mine

Lyrics

[RATCLIFFE] 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 Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys Dig up Virginia, boys Mine, boys, mine ev'ry 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 [ENGLISH SETTLERS] Dig and dig and dig and diggety Dig and dig and dig and diggety [WIGGINS, RATCLIFFE, Both, (ENGLISH SETTLERS)] Hey nonny nonny, hiy nonny nonny (Dig and dig and) Oh, how I love it! (Dig and diggety) Hey nonny nonny, hiy nonny nonny (Dig and dig and) Riches for cheap! (Dig and diggety) Hey nonny nonny, hiy nonny nonny (Dig and dig and) There'll be heaps of it (Dig and diggety) And I'll be on top of the heap! (Dig and dig and diggety-dig!) [RATCLIFFE] 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 [RATCLIFFE & HIGGINS] When all of the gold... [RATCLIFFE] Is mine! [ENGLISH SETTLERS] Dig and dig and dig and diggety Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig [JOHN SMITH] 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 [RATCLIFFE] Keep on working, lads [JOHN SMITH] Mine [RATCLIFFE / ENGLISH SETTLERS] Don't be shirking, lads Mine, boys, mine (Find a mother lode) Mine me that (Then find another load) Gold (Dig, dig and diggety) Beautiful gold (Dig, dig for that gold) [RATCLIFFE & ENGLISH SETTLERS] Make this island my land [RATCLIFFE / ENGLISH SETTLERS] Make the mounds big, boys (Dig) I'd help you to dig, boys (Dig) But I've got this crick in me spine [JOHN SMITH] This land we behold [RATCLIFFE] This beauty untold [JOHN SMITH] A man can be bold [RATCLIFFE] It all can be sold [ENGLISH SETTLERS] So go for- [RATCLIFFE / ENGLISH SETTLERS] The gold (We know which is here) Is (All the riches here) Mine! (From this minute this) Mine! (Land and what's in it is) Mine! (Dig and dig and diggety-dig!) [ENGLISH SETTLERS] Hey nonny nonny nonny, it's mine!
