Lyrics
Working down in a silver mine
Working in a silver mine, engaging in labor related to silver extraction.
Digging up all the silver I can find
Digging for silver with the intention of finding and collecting as much as possible.
Hoping one day I can make you mine
Expressing a desire to have a romantic relationship with someone.
We'll be together, everything will be fine
Anticipating a future together, envisioning everything going well.
Down in my silver mine
Reiteration of the setting, emphasizing the silver mine as a central theme.
I followed you, to your work that day
Following the person to their workplace without negative intentions.
Wasn't trying to stalk you, just wanted to say hey
Clarifying the innocent motive behind following and expressing a friendly greeting.
I filled out an application, didn't need much education
Filling out a job application with minimal educational requirements.
They hired me that day at noon
Getting hired on the same day at noon.
Didn't think I'd start work so soon
Surprised to start working so promptly after being hired.
Working down in a silver mine
Reiteration of working in the silver mine.
Digging up all the silver I can find
Continuing to dig for silver with determination.
Hoping one day I can make you mine
Maintaining the hope of establishing a romantic connection in the future.
We'll be together, everything will be fine
Envisioning a positive outcome of being together.
Down in our silver mine
Emphasizing the shared experience in the silver mine.
Now I'm the kind of man, who don't mind using his hands
Describing oneself as someone comfortable with manual work.
But mining silver ain't easy, and the cave is cold and breezy
Acknowledging the challenges of silver mining, emphasizing the difficult conditions.
I'm just trying to get closer to you
Expressing the motivation for working in the mine as a means to get closer to someone.
That's why I'm working here too
Stating the reason for choosing the job is the desire to be closer to the person of interest.
Working down in a silver mine
Reiteration of the commitment to working in the silver mine.
Digging up all the silver I can find
Continuing the effort to find and collect silver.
Hoping one day I can make you mine
Retaining the hope of a future romantic relationship.
We'll be together, everything will be fine
Reiterating the positive vision of being together.
Down in our silver mine
Emphasizing the collective experience in the silver mine.
Down in our silver mine
Repeating the communal aspect of being in the silver mine.
It's been 200 days, since I picked up my shovel
Reflecting on the passage of time since starting the mining job.
Well it's a job that pays, and don't give me any trouble
Acknowledging the financial benefits of the job without significant problems.
It turns out you've got a girlfriend
Discovering the person of interest already has a girlfriend.
She's stronger than me and she hates men, Oh No
Describing the girlfriend as strong and having a dislike for men.
Working down in a silver mine
Reiteration of the ongoing work in the silver mine.
Digging up all the silver I can find
Continuing the effort to find silver despite the changed romantic prospects.
Realize I'm never going to make you mine
Realizing that the romantic goal is unattainable.
We'll never be together but I'll be fine
Acceptance of the reality that a romantic relationship won't happen.
Down in my silver
Repeating the silver mine setting as a backdrop for acceptance.
Working down in a silver mine
Reiteration of the continued work in the silver mine.
Digging up all the silver I can find
Persisting in the pursuit of silver despite the changed romantic outlook.
Realize I'm never going to make you mine
Reiterating the acceptance of not achieving the romantic goal.
We'll never be together but I'll be fine
Acknowledging contentment despite the unfulfilled romantic desire.
Down in my silver mine
Repeating the acknowledgment of the situation while in the silver mine.
Down in my silver mine, oh
Repetition for emphasis on being in the silver mine.
Down in my silver mine
Emphasizing the continued presence in the silver mine.
Down in my silver mine
Repeating the statement of being in the silver mine.
Down in my silver mine
Reiterating the ongoing experience in the silver mine.
Down in my silver mine
Final repetition of being in the silver mine, concluding the narrative.
