The Lyrics
Au: elemental symbol for gold; Ag, silver
I'm gonna melt Au
Down. . .gold refine.
Maybe I'll melt some Ag too;
I need a mine,
In fact, need two mines.
And then I will brandish
Tools with which I will pound.
I'll use shovel and pick,
And then I'll pick up ore off the ground.
I'm gonna melt Au
Down. . .gold refine,
Refine.
Love Au,
Love Au,
Love Au,
Love Au, give me pounds!
Don't want just bare
Ounces; I'm greedy--
On ground I scrounge.
So greedy.
I'm gonna melt Au
Down. . .gold refine.
[fade on sound of miners working]
Down. . .gold refine.
Maybe I'll melt some Ag too;
I need a mine,
In fact, need two mines.
And then I will brandish
Tools with which I will pound.
I'll use shovel and pick,
And then I'll pick up ore off the ground.
I'm gonna melt Au
Down. . .gold refine,
Refine.
Love Au,
Love Au,
Love Au,
Love Au, give me pounds!
Don't want just bare
Ounces; I'm greedy--
On ground I scrounge.
So greedy.
I'm gonna melt Au
Down. . .gold refine.
[fade on sound of miners working]

I see you were on a SJH marathon over the weekend with this song, one that I don't remember how it goes really, but I liked this. Do Gold and Silver never occur in the same mine?
