Dark As A Dungeon |
Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine |
Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine |
It’ll form as a habit and seep in your soul |
Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal |
Where it’s dark as a dungeon damp as the dew danger is double pleasures are few |
Where the rain never falls the sun never shines |
It’s a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine |
Well it’s many a man that I’ve seen in my day |
(uh huh no laughin' during this song please it’s bein' recorded) |
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard with his wine |
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine |
And pray when I’m dead and my ages shall roll |
That my body would blacken and turn into coal |
Then I’ll look from the door of my heavenly home |
And pity the miner digging my bones |
Where it’s dark as a dungeon |
