the old miner

Lyrics

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
