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
ย
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
ย
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
