(Dig and dig and dig and diggety)
(Dig and dig and dig and diggety)

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

(Dig and dig and dig and diggety)
(Dig and dig and dig and diggety)

(Hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny)
Oh, how I love it!
(Hey nonny nonny
Hey nonny nonny)
Riches for cheap!
(Hey nonny nonny
Hеy nonny nonny)
There’ll be hеaps 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

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
Don't be shirking, lads
(Mine)
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
The gold
All of the gold
Is MINE!

In sixteen hundred seven
We sail the open sea
For glory, God, and gold
And 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

(As we peer into society's future, we – you and I, and our government – must avoid the impulse to live only for today, plundering for our own ease and convenience the precious resources of tomorrow.)
