Mine Mine Mine
Jonathan Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The gold of Cortes
The jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like mere trinkets
By this time tomorrow
The gold we find here
Will dwarf them by far
Dig up Virginia, boys
Mine, boys, mine ev′ry mountain
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys
Shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely
Pebbles that sparkle and shine
It′s gold and it's mine, mine, mine
X2
Oh, how I love it!
Riches for Cheap!
There'll be heaps of it ...
And I′ll be on top of the heap!
My rivals back home
It′s not that I'm bitter
But think how they′ll squirm
When they see how I glitter!
The ladies at court
The king will reward me
He'll knight me ... no, lord me!
It′s mine, mine, mine
For the taking
It's mine, boys
Mine me that gold!
With those nuggets dug its
Glory they′ll gimme
My dear friend, King Jimmy
Will probably build me a shrine
When all of the gold is mine
All of my life, I have searched for a land
Like this one
A wilder, more challenging country
I couldn't design
Hundreds of dangers await
And I don't plan to miss one
In a land I can claim
A land I can tame
The greatest adventure is mine!
Keep on working, lads
Don′t be shirking, lads
Find a mother lode
Then go mine me that gold
Beautiful gold
Make this island, my land
Make the mounds big, boys
I′d help you to dig, boys
But I've got this crick in me spine
This land we behold ...
This beauty untold ...
A man can be bold!
It all can be sold!
Gold...
And the gold
Is ...
Mine!
In sixteen hundred seven
We sail the open sea
For glory, God, and gold
And The Virginia Company
For the New World is like heaven
And we′ll all be rich and free
Or so we have been told
By The Virginia Company
Or so we have been told
By The Virginia Company
The song "Mine, Mine, Mine" by Jonathan Young is a cover of the famous song from the Disney movie "Pocahontas." In this song, John Smith sings about the excitement he feels while searching for gold in Virginia. The lyrics are filled with greed and ambition, as John Smith dreams of riches and fame.
The first verse of the song mentions the gold and jewels that belonged to Cortes and Pizarro, two famous Spanish conquistadors. Smith believes that the gold they found in the past will be nothing compared to the riches he will find in Virginia. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "mine, boys, mine" several times, emphasizing Smith's desire for wealth and power.
The second verse mentions Smith's rivals back home, who he believes will envy his success. He also anticipates recognition from the King for his work and boasts about the potential shrine that will be built in his honor. Finally, Smith talks about the challenges of finding gold in a new and dangerous land, but remains determined to claim it as his own.
