Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
You can whistle or can croon

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho
To make your troubles go
Jut 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

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho

For if you're feeling low




You positively can't go wrong with a Heigh, Heigh-ho

Heigh-ho, heigh-ho

For if you're feeling low
You positively can't go wrong with a Heigh, Heigh-ho
