Paul Siebel - Jasper and the Miners lyrics

Jasper told the miners not to dig too deep For they just might find something he'd rather keep asleep The miners took their joking, leaning on their spades While Jasper got so nervous and a-pointing the other way The other way... the other way Now if I'll pay you money, said Jasper with a grin Would you go and leave me and not start digging in O no we're men of honesty said a miner very sly We don't like deception and we don't like to lie Like to lie... like to lie We see by your forehead that you're a brilliant man Won't you let us help you, we'll do the best we can So the miners started digging, and out the dirt did fly They never noticed Jasper had brought his .45 .45... his .45 Jasper was so furious, shot them one by one And covered them up neatly in the hole they'd just begun The last time I saw Jasper he was running down the road With his boots put on backwards just in case it snowed In case it snowed... in case it snowed
