lyrics

OAK ISLAND GOLD
Copyright April 4, 2018

Chorus:
Come and listen to the story of the Money Pit
On Canada's Atlantic Coast
Has driven poor men to an early grave
Diggin' for buried gold
Diggin' for gold
Treasure and gold
Deep in Oak Island's Money Pit
Off Nova Scotia shores. (2X)

Verse 1:
They say three lads first found the pit
In 1795
Saw lights on old Oak Island
Such a strange and mysterious sight
The lads first found a clearing
Block and tackle on a tree
A 13 foot impression
Where they imagined treasure be
Did pirates land and hide their spoils
On Nova Scotia shores?
Captain Kidd was known to sail its seas
With pirate spoils galore. (Chorus)

Interlude: (Loops)
Dig, dig, dig, diggin' for gold
Dig, dig, dig, diggin' for gold. (2x)

Treasure and gold, treasure and gold
Gimme, gimme, gimme but you can't dig down.

B****trap ground, B****trap ground
Dig, dig, dig but you can't get down. (2X)

Money Pit, Money Pit
Ooh ooh ooh, Oh the Money Pit. (2X)

Verse 2:
Soon they started digging
With shovel and with pic
Through charcoal clay and putty
Deep in the muddy pit
Dug through coconut fiber
And oak to 90 feet
Hit a stone with curious markings
Water started seeping in
The booby trap they call it
Lined to a waterway
Five hundred feet to The Money Pit
Treasure seekers kept at bay.

Verse 3:
Attempts to dam the waterway
And drain the Money Pit
Failed 'cause the pit's designers
Long ago prepared for it
Who engineered this masterpiece
That puzzles us today?
Was it pirates or Knights Templar?
Will the pit give up it's tale?
Secrets like within the pit
Is it treasure, is it gold
Well the mystery keeps men digging
In Oak Island pit of old. (Chorus)
