Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

I'm working in a coal mine
Going down down down
This is my box, this is my box.
I never travel without my box.
In the first drawer I keep my magic stones.
One carnelian against all evil and envy,
One moonstone to make you sleep,
One red coral to heal your wounds,
One lapis lazuli against quartern fever,
One small jasper to help you find water,
One small topaz to soothe your eyes,
One red ruby to protect you from lightning.
-From "Amahl and the Night Visitors" by Gian Carlo Menotti
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring
old lullaby
Lord, you are more precious than silver.
Lord, you are more costly than gold.
Lord, you are more beautiful than diamonds
And nothing I desire compares with you.
More Precious Than Silver

Feels like perfect timing

With her ruby red lips
Blond hair, blue eyes

Now we slash through the skin,
Give it barely a slice
Then we rub some salt in
'Cause that makes it taste nice!
"Les Poissons", from Disney's "The Little Mermaid"
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
Sixteen Tons ~ Tennessee Ernie Ford in my childhood memories
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Put a marble stone at my head and feet
(traditional ballad element...
I don't know if "marble" itself is a mineral, but it's made of minerals and I can't think of another song.)
Ruby my love
You'll be my love
You'll be my sky above
Cat Stevens
Make new friends, but keep the old
One is silver and the other gold
And when there's silver in your hair
You won't have to ask if I still care
'cause as time turns the page
My love won't age at all
I Swear ~ John Michael Montgomery version
Cause all that I want is a silicon girl
Eiffel 65
A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
Sung by Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes movie
Now here I go again
I see my crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself...

Wasted away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt

And the ranger's aim was deadly
With the big iron on his hip
Big Iron on his hip

On the bloody morning after
One tin soldier rides away
People say she's crazy
She's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

I'm only a man in a silly red sheet
Digging for kryptonite on this one way street
Superman
Five for Fighting
(okay, so it's a make believe mineral...)
Silver and gold, silver and gold.
Everyone wishes for silver and gold.
Burl Ives sings it in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

Some girls will bring you silver
Some will bring you fine Spanish lace
Some will say "I love you"
Some will have my face

Ruby glistening from her navel
Shimmering around the floor

Goldfinger, he's the man, the man with the Midas touch, a spider's touch.
I think it might be a Leslie Bricusse song, for sure sung by Shirley Bassey, from the James Bond movie

Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that she was dead.
