Getting married he needs some money to buy her a ring, so he's off gold prospecting.
Lyrics
BOBBY CAME ROUND OUR HOUSE, ONE DARK AND RAINY NIGHT. “COME ON BUDDY, GRAB YOUR SPADE, WE’RE HEADIN’ FOR THE HILLS TO-NIGHT.” MY SUE WAS WANTIN’ TO WED, AND HEAR HER WEDDING BELLS. I PUT ON MY HAT AND I GRABBED MY COAT AND I TOOK SOME FOOD AS WELL. DIGGIN’ AND A-PANNING FOR GOLD LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD. (Instrumental solo) DIGGIN’ AND A-PANNING FOR GOLD. MA SAID. “TAKE THESE PANS, YOUR PA HAS MADE FOR ME. YOU’LL NEED TO EAT, SO TAKE HIS NEAT BONE-HANDLED CUTLERY.” WE STAKED A CLAIM BY A STREAM, AND BUILT OURSELVES A SHACK. WITH PLENTY OF WOOD FOR A FIRE, AND NO THOUGHTS OF TURNING BACK. DIGGIN’ AND A-PANNING FOR GOLD LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD (INSTRUMENTAL SOLO) DIGGIN’ AND A-PANNING FOR GOLD. WE GOT ALL OUR SUPPLIES, FROM THE NEAR-BY MINING TOWN. SOMEHOW OUR SECRET GOT OUT, THEY HEARD HOW MUCH WE’D FOUND. THEY WRECKED OUR LITTLE HOME, BUT OUR GOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND. NOT WANTIN’ ANY MORE TROUBLE, WE LEFT IT ALL BE-HIND. DIGGIN’ AND A-PANNING FOR GOLD. LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD. (instrumental) DIGGIN’ AND A-PANNING FOR GOLD. WHERE’S THE GOLD?” ASKED SUE, WHEN WE HAD GOTTEN BACK HOME. “IT’S WITH THE KNIVES AND FORKS, INSIDE THEIR HANDLES OF BONE.” SHE WAS PLEASED FOR, WHEN WE WED SHE WOULD FOR EVER HOLD, THE WEDDING RING WHICH I HAD MADE FROM LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD. (those) - LOVELY NUGGETS OF GOLD, LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD. (JOINT INSTRUMENTAL SOLO) LITTLE NUGGETS OF GOLD.
