Ratcliffe
The gold of Cortas
The jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like meer 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...

Wiggins
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

Ratcliffe
Oh, how I love it!

Wiggins
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

Ratcliffe
Riches for cheap!

Wiggins
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

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, 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

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
Keep on working, lads

Smith
Mine

Ratcliffe
Don't be shirking, lads

English settlers
Find a mother lode

Ratcliffe
Mine, boys, mine

English settlers
Then find another load!

Ratcliffe
Mine me that gold

English settlers
Dig! Dig! and diggety

Ratcliffe
Beautiful gold

English settlers
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 & 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!

Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny it's mi
