[Intro]
Here we go
Wait, wait
Okay
Three

[Verse 1]
I went digging for gold
I went down to the valley
Over by the mountain ahere the prospector had been told
I'm marching through the cold
We're marching through the cold

[Verse 2]
I went digging for gold
I went down with my brother
A bucket and a shovel and a book about the colour of coal
I'm marching through the cold
We're marching through the cold

[Chorus]
There's a tiny little crackle on the telephone line
Saying, "What's the use of metal if the metal don't shine?"
She said, "Bring me back a ring 'cause I really want one"
Now I've been digging so long that I never seen the sun
[Verse 3]
I went digging for gold
I went down to the valley
Over by the mountain
Where the prospector had been told
I'm marching through the cold
We're marching through the cold

[Chorus]
There's a tiny little crackle on the telephone line
Saying, "What's the use of metal if the metal don't shine?"
She said, "Bring me back a ring cause I really want one"
Now I've been digging so long that I never seen the sun
Now I've been digging so long that I never seen the sun
(Again, last time)
Now I've been digging so long that I never seen the sun
