Lyrics
Hey Mr. Gold man, where's my pay?
Mmm Mr. Gold man, not one more day
Mister, can't you hear my children cry?
Came to Pretoria in '46
To find myself a job
Met a man with a broken arm
He said, "Come along with us
Get onto the bus"
Hey Mr. Gold man, I'm for sale
Hey Mr. Gold man, please don't turn away
Hey Mr. Gold man, can't you hear my tummy rumbling?
Hey, you coal digger
There's a job for coal diggers here
You won't get much
But it's a way to survive
So we continued down the road
'Til we got to the mine
Dirt and dust all around us now
Hey, I didn't mind
'Cause I'm on the work line, oh
Hey Mr. Gold man, where's my pay?
Hey Mr. Gold man, can't wait another day
Oh Mr. Gold man, can't you see I'm almost dying?
I'm a gold digger, man
Twenty-two pence a shift
No overtime
Then I heard a good friend say
"There's a happening in town
Come and join the union, boy
'Cause today we ain't going down
We're gonna stand our ground"
Oh, oh, hey Mr. Gold man, where's my pay?
Oh Mr. Gold man, won't wait another day
Oh Mr. Gold man, can't you hear the thunder coming?
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey Mr. Gold man, lose these chains
Time, Mr. Gold man, the change is on its way
Go Mr. Gold man, and don't come back
This is my country now
You better believe me now
Mr. Gold man
