Dark As A Dungeon

Intro: verse 1 Come listen you fellows so young and so fine And seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine It'll form as a habit an seep in your soul Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal It's dark as a dungeon an damp as the dew Where troubles are doubled and pleasures are few Where the rain never falls And the sun never shines Its dark as a dungeon way down in the mine riff verse 2 Well I hope when I'm gone 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 miners digging my bones verse 3 The midnight the morning or the middle of day Is the same to the miner who labors away. Where the demons of death often come by surprise, One fall of the slate and you're buried alive. Its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where danger is doubled and pleasures are few Where the rain never falls And the sun never shines Its dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
