Came to Pretoria in ’46,

Bm G
Met a man with a broken arm, he said:

Come along with us, get onto the bus.
[Chorus 1]

Hey Mr. Gold Man! I'm for sale!

Hey Mr. Gold Man! Please don't turn away.

Hey Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear my tummy rumbling?
[Verse 2]
Bm F#
So we continued down the road,
Bm G
till we got to the mine.

Dirt and dust all around us now.
C#m G#7 Bm F#
Hey! I didn't mind, cause I'm on the workline. Oh!

Then I heard a good friend say:
Bm F#
“There's a happening in Town”

Come and join the Union, boy.
C#m G#7 Bm F#
'Cause today, we ain't going down, we're gonna stand our ground.
[Chorus 3]

Oh Mr. Gold Man! Can't you hear the thunder coming? Ohhhhh!
[Chorus 4]
