Folks been diggin into the ground
Wont be stoppin until its found
They might dig all the way to china
That would be just fine
You understand what Im sayin
They dont wanna work
Theyre hopin and a prayin for
Pay dirt

Folks are goin to the rivers
And siftin in the sand
All theyve been findin
Is the lids of tin cans
Of course it doesnt stop em
Theres big bucks sellin junk
Then turn around and buy it
For more than its worth
They gamble and they bargain for
Pay dirt, pay dirt, pay dirt
Pay dirt

Well, I heard tell that some folks
Wont fall in love
Unless the one theys courtin
Got more than enough
Well, nothin gets the heart a goin
Faster than a wad of dough
Unless its the price of
A tease and a flirt
And promises of fistfuls
Pay dirt, pay dirt
Pay dirt
