(2X) Verse 1: They say three lads first found the pit In 1795 Saw lights on old Oak Island Such a strange and mysterious sight The lads first found a clearing Block and tackle on a tree A 13 foot impression Where they imagined treasure be Did pirates land and hide their spoils On Nova Scotia shores? Captain Kidd was known to sail its seas With pirate spoils galore. (Chorus) Interlude: (Loops) Dig, dig, dig, diggin' for gold Dig, dig, dig, diggin' for gold. (2x) Treasure and gold, treasure and gold Gimme, gimme, gimme but you can't dig down. Boobytrap ground, Boobytrap ground Dig, dig, dig but you can't get down. (2X) Money Pit, Money Pit Ooh ooh ooh, Oh the Money Pit. (2X) Verse 2: Soon they started digging With shovel and with pic Through charcoal clay and putty Deep in the muddy pit Dug through coconut fiber And oak to 90 feet Hit a stone with curious markings Water started seeping in The booby trap they call it Lined to a waterway Five hundred feet to The Money Pit Treasure seekers kept at bay. Verse 3: Attempts to dam the waterway And drain the Money Pit Failed 'cause the pit's designers Long ago prepared for it Who engineered this masterpiece That puzzles us today? Was it pirates or Knights Templar? Will the pit give up it's tale? Secrets like within the pit Is it treasure, is it gold Well the mystery keeps men digging In Oak Island pit of old.
