lyrics

My granddad was a mining man
And my daddy was one too
And the noble work of the mining trade
Is the life I was born to, boys
The life I was born to

I toil all day in darkness
For the coins I can obtain
And I’ll run this Bitcoin mining rig
To work the old blockchain, boys
Work the old blockchain

And it’s hash all day and it’s hash all night
Keep the GPUs online
Millionaires we’ll be, for it grows on trees
In the heat of the Bitcoin mine

I’ve set up my computers
In a rack in the living room
I built it out of some plastic totes
And some blankets and a broom, boys
Blankets and a broom

When my wife saw this contraption
She was filled with qualms and doubt
She said that thing was a fire risk
And her fears were soon borne out, boys
But I quickly put it out

And it’s hash all day and it’s hash all night
Keep the GPUs online
Millionaires we’ll be, for it grows on trees
In the heat of the Bitcoin mine

400 billion hashes
Every second I’ll assay
And every hash turns to cold hard cash
Sixty cents a day, boys
Sixty cents a day

I’ll keep them in my wallet
And I’ll watch their worth compound
For the Bitcoin’s price will go up and up
And never will come down, boys
It never will come down

And it’s hash all day and it’s hash all night
Keep the GPUs online
Millionaires we’ll be, for it grows on trees
In the heat of the Bitcoin mine, boys
The heat of the Bitcoin mine
