Lyrics
Mines of Gold
[Verse 1]
Pickin' a banjo on a front porch swing
Southern sun shining
Hear that harmony ring
Life in the south
It's simple and sweet
But it ain't always easy
It's a bumpy street
Mama in the kitchen
Cookin' up a mess
Daddy Nick in the mine
Workin' hard for success
[Verse 2]
In the mine he grows old
From dusk till dawn
His hands cracked and cold
Digger Nick
Oh he's so wise
Watch his pick swing
Under endless skies
[Chorus]
Mines of gold
Where dreams unfold
Digger Nick
He's never sold
Through the soot and sweat
He'll remain
In the mines of gold
Where he'll grow old
[Fading Fiddle solo]
[Fade out and End]
[Fade out and End]
[End]
South USA porch with a banjo
Pickin' a banjo on a front porch swing
Southern sun shining
Hear that harmony ring
Life in the south
It's simple and sweet
But it ain't always easy
It's a bumpy street
Mama in the kitchen
Cookin' up a mess
Daddy Nick in the mine
Workin' hard for success
[Verse 2]
In the mine he grows old
From dusk till dawn
His hands cracked and cold
Digger Nick
Oh he's so wise
Watch his pick swing
Under endless skies
[Chorus]
Mines of gold
Where dreams unfold
Digger Nick
He's never sold
Through the soot and sweat
He'll remain
In the mines of gold
Where he'll grow old
[Fading Fiddle solo]
[Fade out and End]
[Fade out and End]
[End]
South USA porch with a banjo
