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
