The men with the dynamite
placed their charges
into the hill – there was a bang
The men with the dynamite
didn’t know what would happen
when the charges went bang
The men with the dynamite
created a shudder and a shake
locals called it an earthquake
So while the men – with their charges – grabbed gold from their pan
the locals took everything they can
heading down hill and spotting the rocks – that the men of ‘mite
caused an almighty shock
And what of the people moved from the hill?
they moved into a camp – and they live there still
hoping one day they can move back to their land
but of course – that’s not what the miners planned.
