Even though this music video is not speaking strictly of Tolkien’s Dwarves, we thought it so much fun that we had to share it with you. The song and video are brought to us by the Yogscast Lewis & Simon. And as if the song isn’t enough fun on its own, you can buy a ‘Diggy Diggy Hole’ t-shirt at the Yogscast store!
What do you think? Do you like the song as much as the Middle-earth News Dwarves?
Thanks to Thorin Oakenshield’s Facebook page for pointing us to the video!
‘Diggy Diggy Hole’, YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon
Lyrics:
Brothers of the mine rejoice!
Swing, swing, swing with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing with me
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we’ll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store
Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!
Chorus
I am a dwarf and I’m digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I’m digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
The sunlight will not reach this low
Deep, deep in the mine
Never seen the blue moon glow
Dwarves won’t fly so high
Fill a glass and down some mead!
Stuff your bellies at the feast!
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep
Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb
The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath
We can never dig too deep
