Lyrics[]

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

It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!

We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig
From early morn till night
We dig dig dig dig dig dig dig up
Everything in sight

We dig up diamonds by the score
A thousand rubies, sometimes more
Though we don't know what we dig 'em for
We dig dig dig a-dig dig

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho hum

[Chorus three times]
Heigh-ho [until fade]

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go

[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's home from work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh....

[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's off to work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Chorus]: Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
It's off to work we go
[Whistle]
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho

[Whistle]

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

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 go marching down the trail
Right along! Right along! Right along! Right along!
To the rhythm of the song

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 high, Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
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 high, Heigh-ho!

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
Heigh-ho hum

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 high, Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho
[Whistle]
With a high, 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

It ain't no trick to get rich quick
If you dig dig dig with a shovel or a pick
In a mine! In a mine! In a mine! In a mine!
Where a million diamonds shine!

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 high, 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 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
