Folks been diggin' into the ground Won't be stoppin' until it's found They might dig all the way to China That would be just fine You understand what I'm sayin' They don't want to work They're hopin' and a prayin' for Pay dirt
Folks are goin' to the rivers And siftin' in the sand All they've been findin' Is the lids of tin cans Of course it doesn't stop 'em There's big bucks sellin' junk Then turn around and buy it For more than it's worth They gamble and they bargain for Pay dirt, pay dirt, pay dirt Pay dirt
Well, I heard tell that some folks Won't fall in love Unless the one they's courtin' Got more than enough Well, nothin' gets the heart a goin' Faster than a wad of dough Unless it's the price of A tease and a flirt And promises of fistfuls Pay dirt, pay dirt Pay dirt
