Diggin' On The Mountainside

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Come to build their castles high

Can't you see that silver shine?

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

They're comin' in from out of town

They cut the timber and strip the ground

And onward to the sun they climb

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Come to build their castles high

Born to see that silver shine

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Just like in the days of old

When they come to look for coal

It seems they're never satisfied

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

And still, I have to move their dirt

Can't stand them boys, but I need to work

I pay my debts and close my eyes

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Come to build their castles high

Born see that silver shine

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Now there's nothin' that the past can do

And the present's always gone too soon

And the future like bullet flies

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside

Come to build their castles high

Born to see that silver shine

Rich folks diggin' on the mountainside
