[Ratcliffe]<br>
The gold of Cortés<br>
The jewels of Pizarro<br>
Will seem like mere trinkets<br>
By this time tomorrow<br>
The gold we find here<br>
Will dwarf them by far<br>
Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys<br>
Dig up Virginia, boys<br>
<br>
Mine, boys, mine ev'ry mountain<br>
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop<br>
Grab a pick, boys<br>
Quick, boys<br>
Shove in a shovel<br>
Uncover those lovely<br>
Pebbles that sparkle and shine<br>
It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine<br>
English Settlers<br>
Dig and dig and dig and diggety ...<br>
Dig and dig and dig and diggety ...<br>
Wiggins<br>
Hey nonny nonny<br>
Ho nonny nonny<br>
Ratcliffe<br>
Oh, how I love it!<br>
Riches for Cheap!<br>
Wiggins<br>
There'll be heaps of it ...<br>
Ratcliffe<br>
And I'll be on top of the heap!<br>
<br>
My rivals back home<br>
It's not that I'm bitter<br>
But think how they'll squirm<br>
When they see how I glitter!<br>
The ladies at court<br>
Will be all a-twitter<br>
The king will reward me<br>
He'll knight me ... no, lord me!<br>
<br>
It's mine, mine, mind<br>
For the taking<br>
It's mine, boys<br>
Mine me that gold!<br>
With those nuggets dug ...<br>
<br>
It's glory they'll gimme<br>
My dear friend, King Jimmy<br>
Will probably build me a shrine<br>
When all of the gold is mine<br>
<br>
[English Settlers]<br>
Dig and dig and dig and diggety<br>
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!<br>
[Smith]<br>
All of my life, I have searched for a land<br>
Like this one<br>
A wilder, more challenging country<br>
I couldn't design<br>
Hundreds of dangers await<br>
And I don't plan to miss one<br>
In a land I can claim<br>
A land I can tame<br>
The greatest adventure is mine!<br>
<br>
[Ratcliffe and English Settlers together]<br>
<br>
[Ratcliffe]<br>
Keep on working, lands<br>
Don't be shirking, lands<br>
Mine, boys, mind<br>
Mine me that gold<br>
Beautiful gold<br>
[English Settlers]<br>
Mine<br>
Find a mother lode<br>
Then find another load!<br>
Dig! Dig! and diggety<br>
Dig! Dig! for that gold<br>
All<br>
Make this island<br>
My land!<br>
[Ratcliffe]<br>
Make the mounds big, boys<br>
I'd help you to dig, boys<br>
But I've got this crick in me spine<br>
[Smith]<br>
This land we behold ...<br>
[Ratcliffe]<br>
This beauty untold ...<br>
[Smith]<br>
A man can be bold!<br>
It all can be sold!<br>
<br>
[Ratcliffe and English Settlers together]<br>
<br>
[Ratcliffe]<br>
And the gold<br>
Is ...<br>
Mine!<br>
Mine!<br>
Mine!<br>
Mine!<br>
[English Settlers]<br>
So go for the gold<br>
We know which is here<br>
All the riches here<br>
From this minute<br>
This land and what's in it is<br>
Mine!<br>
[Ratcliffe]<br>
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!<br>
Hey nonny nonny nonny it's mine!<br>
