| Nor from the Arctic region | B |

| Then hey lads hey for the mining man so bold | F |
| Who comes from the world's far edges | E |
| And hey for the gold the yellow yellow gold | F |
| That is stored in the mountain ledges | G |

| They basked not they in balmy tropic shade | I |
| 'Neath orange tree and banyan | B |
| But braved the bush the torrent and the steep | J |
| By gorge and gulch and canyon | B |
| They would not be held back in cities over desks | K |
| Or among the homestead hedges | G |
| So their pockets now are filled with the yellow yellow gold | F |
| That they mined in the mountain ledges | G |

| They left their homes their loved ones all behind | L |
| Forsook kind friend and neighbor | M |
| And went to seek the thing of greatest worth | N |
| For gold rare gold to labor | M |
| Oh they bled the old earth they opened up her veins | O |
| With their picks and drills and sledges | O |
| And their pockets now are filled with the yellow yellow gold | F |
| That they mined in the mountain ledges | O |
