Diggin' For Gold

In the lost dutchman’s gold mine
And the California rush
There’s somethin' in that shiny rock
I want it so much
Up in the motherload
I’m diggin' for gold
It’s enough to make you wonder
If you know when you’re well off
There’s nothin' you can use it for
Cause gold is too soft
Up in the motherload
I’m digging for gold
Too soft for nails on freight train rails
But shiny as can be
T’ain’t worth a damn, but on woman’s hand
Brings pain and misery
Up in the motherload
I’m digging for gold
I love my woman so damn much
Didn’t want her doing without
Told her we’d be rich some day
And that I set it out
I remember the woman that I left back home
She’s worth more than gold to me
I feel so alone
Up in th motherload
I’m digging for gold
Seems like yestrday
I told her I’d be back
Since then it’s been 10 years
I’ve almost lost my track
Up in the motherload
I’m digging for gold
Up in the motherload
I’m digging for gold
Up in the motherload
I’m digging for gold
