I got this little gold nugget and its weighing down my ship
but I just love the look of it, can't stand to part with it
for it is mine only mine and I hold it in my grip
I got this little gold nugget on my ship

I got this little gold nugget and I'm trying to let it slip
into the sea away from me before it ends my trip
but I just know when I let it go I'm gonna wish that I didn't
I got this little gold nugget on my ship

I got this little gold nugget and I'm trying to let it go
But I hate the thought of it shining on for the creatures down below
But anxiety is killin' me I got my arm back ready to throw
This little gold nugget off my ship
God get this little gold nugget off my ship
