(words by Merle Travis)
2
oh come all you fellas so young and so fine
3
seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine
4
it'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
5
'til the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
6
where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew
7
danger is double, pleasures are few
8
where rain never falls, the sun never shines
9
it's dark as a dungeon, way down in the mine
10
like a fiend with his dope, a drunkard with his wine
11
a man will have lust for the lure of the mine
12
and i pray when i'm dead my ages shall roll
13
that my body will blackenand turn into coal
14
and i look from the door, of my heavenly home
15
and pity the miner digging my bones
16
where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew
17
danger is double, pleasures are few
18
where the rain never falls, and the sun never shines
19
it's dark as a dungeon, way down in the mine
