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 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 ... |

Hey nonny nonny |

Ho nonny nonny |
|
Ratcliffe |
|
Oh, how I love it! |
|
Riches for Cheap! |
|
Wiggins |
|
There'll be heaps of it ... |
|
Ratcliffe |
|
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, mind |
|
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 |
|
[English Settlers] |

Dig and dig and dig and diggety |
|
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig! |

[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 and English Settlers together] |
|
[Ratcliffe] |
|
Keep on working, lands |
|
Don't be shirking, lands |
|
Mine, boys, mind |
|
Mine me that gold |
|
Beautiful gold |
|
[English Settlers] |
|
Mine |
|
Find a mother lode |
|
Then find another load! |
|
Dig! Dig! and diggety |
|
Dig! Dig! for that gold |
|
All |
|
Make this island |
|
My land! |
|
[Ratcliffe] |
|
Make the mounds big, boys |
|
I'd help you to dig, boys |
|
But I've got this crick in me spine |
|
[Smith] |
|
This land we behold ... |
|
[Ratcliffe] |
|
This beauty untold ... |
|
[Smith] |
|
A man can be bold! |
|
It all can be sold! |
|
[Ratcliffe and English Settlers together] |
|
[Ratcliffe] |
|
And the gold |
|
Is ... |
|
Mine! |
|
Mine! |
|
Mine! |
|
Mine! |
|
[English Settlers] |
|
So go for the gold |
|
We know which is here |
|
All the riches here |
|
From this minute |
|
This land and what's in it is |
|
Mine! |
|
[Ratcliffe] |
|
Dig and dig and diggety-dig! |
|
Hey nonny nonny nonny it's mine! |
