Wow, "Gold Digger" is a great song, so fresh and old/new ... I like Yusuf's changes in his musical style, but maybe it will be too much for those fans who do not want him to change, who prefer his "troubador outfit" (acoustic guitar & voice). Ok, me also like this more acoustic part of Cat Yusuf, but I am glad that he is moving on, forward  So, listen to BBC Radio 2 - Ken Bruce Show, and you can hear Yusuf's "Gold Digger" at around 2 hrs : 01 mins : 26 secs www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04gynzxWhat are your opinions about his new song? And, please, can someone of you native english speakers put / write down the lyrics of "Gold Digger" (including the background voise/lyric)? |

I liked this new single release! And yes a great song indeed. Yusuf has a strong and unique voice that we can never doubt. I was listening, playing and repeating to it 10th x since yesterday. I can post the lyrics here for you crobarbie  |

GOLD DIGGER (LYRICS)*
Hey Mr Goldman! Where’s my pay?
Hmm... Mr Goldman! Not one more day.
Mister! Can’t you hear my children cryin’?
Came to Pretoria in 46, find myself a job
Met a man with a broken arm, he said:
"Come along with us, get onto the bus"
Hey Mr Gold Man! I’m for sale!
Hey Mr Gold Man! Please don’t turn away.
Hey Mr Gold Man! Can’t you hear my tummy rumbling?
“Hey! You a gold digger? There’s a job for gold diggers here" (background voice) - Mr Goldman's voice
So we continued down the road, till we got to the mine
Dirt and dust all around us now – Hey! I didn’t mind
Cause I’m on the workline
Hey Mr Gold Man! Where’s my pay?
Oh Mr Gold Man! Can’t wait another day.
Oh Mr Gold Man! Can’t you see I’m almost dying?
“I’m a gold digger man,
22 pence a shift – no overtime.”(background voice) Gold Digger
Then I heard a good friend say: "There’s a happening in Town,
Come and join the Union, boy. ‘Cause today, we ain’t going down,
We’re gonna stand our ground."
Hey Mr Gold Man! Where’s my pay?
O Mr Gold Man! Won’t wait another day.
O Mr Gold Man! Can’t you hear the thunder coming?
Hey Mr Gold Man! Loose these chains.
Time Mr Gold Man! Change is on its way.
Go Mr Goldman! Don’t come back, this is my country now.
“You’d better be leaving now -
Mr Goldman.”(background voice) - Gold Digger's voice.
*Worldwide Premiere on BBC Radio 2 (19 September 2014)
