the old miner

there was an old miner

with a mule named diner

his name was philip morris

well

bless my soul

and one spring day

as he went along his way

he made a lucky strike

and he fasted on an old ghost

he said

you know what i'm gonna do

i'm gonna do everything i ever wanted to

so he took old diner

on a big ocean liner

the thick top box

was the name on the side

he told captain to fist troy

you better be a nice boy

and take me and diner

on a long ocean line

cause i got enough gold to have you

to do everything i ever wanted to

say the commander

welcome aboard

he asked him not to fail 'em

he wanted him to sail 'em

all around the world

tell the ghost-spell

he wanted to go a places

to see a cool old aces

to alpine mountains and visit parliament

he wanted to dock on a new port

ride on a camel

and do the car a new

hit the ray

well

see his hotel mate

his old guest sailin' by

of course

proof

pack for his own news bag

so now he is back in an one-room shack

ain't nobody there but him and his mule

if you ever pass by and you wanna know why

he just sittin' there

being real cool

don't you know what he's gonna tell you

he's done everything he ever wanted to
