Dark As A Dungeon |
Come all you young fellers |
So young and so fine |
And seek not your fortune |
In the dark dreary mine |
It’ll form as a habit |
And seep in your soul |
Till the stream of your blood |
Is as black as the coal |
Where it’s dark as a dungeon |
And damp as the dew |
Where the dangers are double |
And the pleasures are few |
Where the rain never falls |
And the sun never shines |
Lord it’s a dark as a dungeon |
Way down in the mines |
Well it’s many a man |
That I’ve seen in my day |
Who lived just to labor |
His whole life away |
Like a fiend with his dope |
Or a drunkard his wine |
A man must have lust |
For the lure of the mine |
Where it’s dark as a dungeon |
And damp as the dew |
Where the dangers are double |
And the pleasures are few |
Where the rain never falls |
And the sun never shines |
Lord it’s a dark as a dungeon |
Way down in the mines |
Well I hope when I’m gone |
All the ages shall roll |
My body would blacken |
And turn into coal |
Then I’ll look from the door |
Of my heavenly home |
And pity the miner |
Who are digging my bones |
Where it’s dark as a dungeon |
And damp as the dew |
Where the dangers are double |
And the pleasures are few |
Where the rain never falls |
And the sun never shines |
Lord it’s a dark as a dungeon |
Way down in the mines |
