Dark as a Dungeon
Lyrics
Come all you young fellows so young and so fine And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine It will form like 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 and damp as the dew Where the danger is doubled and the pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine There's many a man I've seen in my day Who lived just to labor his wholе life away Like a fiend with his dopе and a drunkard his wine A man will have lust for the lure of the mine Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where the danger is doubled and the pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine Oh, when I am dead and the ages shall roll My body will blacken and turn into coal Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner a-digging my bones Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where the danger is doubled and the pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
