Diggin' For Gold - Black Oak Arkansas

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
