A lie to say Oh my mountain has coal veins and beds to dig
Five hundred men with axes and they all dig for me
A lie to say Oh my river where many fish do swim
Half of the catch is mine when you haul your nets in
Oh no, no never, will he believe that
His greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer can cheat him
Hell take his gold to where hes lying cold
A lie to say Oh my mine gave a diamond big as a fist
But with every gem in his pocket the jewels he has missed
A lie to say Oh my garden is growing taller by the day
He only eats the best and tosses the rest away
Oh no, no never, will he believe that
His greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer can cheat him
Hell take his gold to where hes lying cold six deep in the grave
His oldest pain Something is out of reach
And fear in life Therell not be time Something he wanted
His oldest pain and fear in life Something is out of reach
Hes being taunted
His oldest pain and fear in life hey hey
That he cant beg or steal
Nor can he buy
A lie to say Oh my forest with trees that block the sun
And when I cut them down I dont answer to anyone
No, no, no, never, will he believe that
His greed is a blinding ray
No devil or redeemer can cheat him
Hell take his gold to where hes lying cold
La la la la la la, la la la la
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely man
