Lyrics
On the day when I first met her
Expressing the day of the initial encounter with the subject of the song.
I fell in love with her red hair
Describing the physical attribute of the person, highlighting red hair as a point of attraction.

She said let’s have a drink or two

Man I’ve got a job for you

The best job that you will ever find
Expressing enthusiasm about the offered job as the best one available.
So she took me to her gold mine
Narrating the journey to the person's gold mine.
Gave me a contract and a pen
Describing the formalization of the job through a contract and a signature.
