Heigh-Ho!

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
in our mine the whole day through.
To dig dig dig dig dig dig dig is what we like to do.
And while we dig we always sing,
For when you dig there ain’t a better thing,
Than a tune, than a tune,
Than a tune, than a tune,
You can whistle or can croon.

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! to make your troubles go,
Just keep on singing all day long,
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! for if you’re feeling low,
You positively can’t go wrong
With a heigh, heigh-ho!

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig and we try to do our bit,
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig until it’s time to quit.
And then we warble down the scale,
As we all go marching down the trail,
Right along, right along,
Right along, right along,
To the rhythm of the song.

Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! it’s home from work we go,
(whistle)
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho, heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! all seven in a row,
(whistle),
With a heigh, heigh-ho!
