[Verse 1] I been swinging this hammer for a mighty long time What I wouldn't give for a nickel and a dime I was up there in the hills where the colored bands run Fanning 'cross the mountain and a-shining in the sun I came across a mountain, it was leaning tall One wrong look and she was bound to fall But I couldn't resist where my fortune lie Now I'm bound to get rich if I keep from dyin'
[Chorus] Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away There's a little more gold left here today All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground Every time I take a little piece I know I'm toeing the line with thе ol' pick hoe And sooner or later this wholе thing is coming down
[Verse 2] Well, I heard a little crack, heard a creak and moan Sounded like thunder and it shook me to the bone Just got a little bit more to go Ten thousand dollars and I'm headed back home I finally had my fill, I was on my way And that mountain started falling as I ran and I prayed Lord, if you let me make it out alive I'll never chase another poke for my whole damn life
[Chorus] Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away There's a little more gold left here today All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground Every time I take a little piece I know I'm toeing the line with the ol' pick hoe And sooner or later this whole thing is coming down Well, I keep on chipping and a-chipping away There's a little more gold left here today All I gotta do is just pull it right from the ground Every time I take a little piece I know I'm toeing the line with the ol' pick hoe And sooner or later this whole thing is coming downTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
