Folks been diggin` into the ground
Won`t be stoppin` until it`s found
They might dig all the way to China
That would be just fine
You understand what I`m sayin`
They don`t wanna work
They`re hopin` and a prayin` for
Pay dirt
Folks are goin` to the rivers
And siftin` in the sand
All they`ve been findin`
Is the lids of tin cans
Of course it doesn`t stop `em
There`s big bucks sellin` junk
Then turn around and buy it
For more than it`s worth
They gamble and they bargain for
Pay dirt, pay dirt, pay dirt
Pay dirt
Well, I heard tell that some folks
Won`t fall in love
Unless the one they`s courtin`
Got more than enough
Well, nothin` gets the heart a goin`
Faster than a wad of dough
Unless it`s the price of
A tease and a flirt
And promises of fistfuls
Pay dirt, pay dirt
Pay dirt
