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
 ♪
 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 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
