Diggin’ for Gold Lyrics – The Bushwackers
Singer: The Bushwackers
Title: Diggin’ for Gold
Well, we came out here in ’81
Seekin’ the lode under the blazing sun
Diggin’ in the river to make it pay, found a nugget on the second day
Built a little place, we were there to stay
And we worked in the gravel till our fingers bled (Diggin’ for gold, diggin’ for gold)
Tea and damper and a stringybark bed (Diggin’ for gold, diggin’ for gold)
There’s treasure in the river, we just knew, we stayed the coursе and saw it through
The winter cold turned our fingеrs blue, diggin’ for gold
Well, the river runs fast, the river runs wild, thousands came to make their pile
But only a few went the extra mile
And the river runs deep, the river runs cold, we once were young but now we’re old
They’ll carve our name on a rock, I’m told, diggin’ for gold
Now, the diggers came, the diggers went (Diggin’ for gold, diggin’ for gold)
A community grew on that riverbend (Diggin’ for gold, diggin’ for gold)
Empires built, children came, we weren’t tired, we staked our claim
Down through the years we’ve made our name, diggin’ for gold
Now, the river runs fast, the river runs wild, thousands came to make their pile
But only a few went the extra mile
And the river runs deep, the river runs cold, we once were young but now we’re old
They’ll carve our name on a rock, I’m told, diggin’ for gold
There’s treasure there, but it’s buried deep
And the golden dream still haunts my sleep
So sift the alluvial till you die, fire in the belly from deep inside
Nothing’s gained if nothing’s tried when you’re diggin’ for gold
Now, the river runs fast, the river runs wild, thousands come to make their pile
But only a few go the extra mile
And the river runs deep, the river runs cold, we once were young but now we’re old
They’ll carve our name on a rock, I’m told, like the old pioneers
Who went diggin’ for gold
Diggin’ for gold, diggin’ for gold
Diggin’ for gold, diggin’ for gold
Diggin’ for gold
