Lyrics for Heigh Ho
Well, we dig, dig, dig Well, we dig in our mine the whole day through Dig, dig, dig, that is what we like to do And it ain't no trick to get rich quick If you dig, dig, dig, with a shovel and a pick Dig, dig, dig, the whole day through Got to dig, dig, dig, it's what we like to do In our mine, in our mine Where a million diamonds shine We got to dig, dig, dig, from the morning till the night Dig, dig, dig up everything in sight We got to dig, dig, dig, in our mine, in our mine Dig up diamonds by the score A thousand rubies, sometimes more But we don't know what we are diggin' for, yeah Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to work we go We keep on singing all day long, heigh ho Heigh ho, heigh ho, got to make your troubles go Well, you keep on singing all day long, heigh ho, heigh ho, heigh ho.
