[Intro]
[Verse]
Come listen you fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune, in the dark, dreary mines
It’ll form as a habit, and seep in your soul
’Till the stream of your blood, is as black as the coal
[Chorus]
It’s dark as a dungeon, and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double, and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, and the sun never shines
It’s dark as a dungeon, way down in the mines
[Post-Chorus]
[Verse]
It’s many a man, I have known in my day
Who live just to labor, his young life away
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
One fall of the slate, and you’re buried alive
I hope when I’m gone, and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken, and turn into coal
Then I look from the door, of my heavenly home
And pity the miner diggin’ my bone
[Chorus]
It’s dark as a dungeon, and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double, and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, and the sun never shines
It’s dark as a dungeon, way down in the mines
[Verse]
Come listen you fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune, in the dark, dreary mines
It’ll form as a habit, and seep in your soul
’Till the stream of your blood, is as black as the coal
[Chorus]
It’s dark as a dungeon, and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double, and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, and the sun never shines
It’s dark as a dungeon, way down in the mines
[Post-Chorus]
[Verse]
It’s many a man, I have known in my day
Who live just to labor, his young life away
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
One fall of the slate, and you’re buried alive
I hope when I’m gone, and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken, and turn into coal
Then I look from the door, of my heavenly home
And pity the miner diggin’ my bone
[Chorus]
It’s dark as a dungeon, and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double, and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, and the sun never shines
It’s dark as a dungeon, way down in the mines
