Lyrics

My First Mine

Started in the old south I brought it to the new west Sold it for a dry claim I bought it back the hard way I've got a mine thats fine Isn't it the best one yet? I bought it in '49 I've got a mine thats fine Heard about your bad fall I guess its just the rock's fault I bet you need some old south I'll sell it for your gold teeth I've got a mind thats fine I swear its the best one yet I bought it in '49 I've got a mind thats fine She was just a moaner She was never saved Bruises in my stomach fight I fed it to my engine I've got a mind thats fine I swear it's the best one yet I bought it in '49 I've got a mine thats fine I've got a mine thats fine I've got a mine thats fine I've got a mine thats fine I've got a mine thats fine.
