American Old Time Song Lyrics: 05 A Hundred Fathoms Deep

Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 5

A Hundred Fathoms Deep.
As sung by D R. Hawkins.

There's a mine of wealth untold,
In a hundred fathoms deep;
There's countless stores of the earth's red gold.
In a hundred fathoms deep;
Glitt'ring gem for a thousand brows,
Curses, prayers, And terrors, rows-

Chorus.
In a hundred fathoms deep,
In a hundred fathoms deep,
In a huiulred fathoms deep,
In a huudred fathoms deep.

The cares of a miser's years,
In a huudred fathoms deep;
The child of a mother's hopes and fears,
In a hundred fathoms deep;
Side by side do they quietly lay,
The idol of gold and the idol of clay-Chorus.

The sea-king sits on his throne
In a huudred fathoms deep,
And laughs as he claims all for his own,
In a huudred fathoms deep;
These are my riches, these my hordes,
Tnese the treasures my realm affords-Chorus.
