THE MINER’S PATH

 

IN A VIVID DREAM SO REAL IT SEEMED

WHEN I HEARD THAT WHISTLE BLOW

WITH 30 YEARS DOWN IN THE MINES

I KNEW THAT IT WAS TIME GO

SO I GRABBED MY PICK AND SHOVEL

AND HEADED DOWN THE ROAD

BUT THERE WAS TWO PATHS AT THE TUNNEL

I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE DOWN BELOW

CHORUS:

WHAT’S GONNA BE YOUR TREASURE

WHAT WILL YOUR MINE BE WORTH

YOU’VE ONLY GOT SO MUCH TIME

TIL YOU END YOUR SHIFT ON EARTH

FOOLS GOLD COMES IN ALL MANNERS

DON’T FALL FOR ALL THAT SHINES

BE CERTAIN OF YOUR TREASURE

WHEN YOU’RE FINISHED IN THE MINES

 

A SMOOTH PATH ON THE LEFT HAND

DARK AND BROAD AS IT COULD BE

A VOICE HISSED IN THE DISTANCE

SAID THROW YOUR PICK TO ME

IT SAID I’LL HELP YOU BOY

WE’LL MINE SILVER AND GOLD

IT WON’T COST YOU A PENNY

YOU CAN PAY ME WITH YOUR SOUL

CHORUS:

 

THE PATH ON THE RIGHT HAND

WAS NARROW, ROUGH AND STRAIGHT

A LIGHT SHINED IN THE TUNNEL

SHOWING ME THE WAY

A VOICE SOFTLY WHISPERED

FOLLOW DOWN THIS ROAD

THE JOURNEY WON’T BE EASY

BUT YOU’LL REACH THE MOTHER LODE

CHORUS:
