Dark As a Dungeon lyrics

Come listen you fellers so young and so fine And 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 is as black as the coal It's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew Where dangers are double and pleasures are few Where the rain never falls the sun never shines It's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine [ harmonica ] I hope when I'm gone 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 a digging my bones It's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew... Yes it's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
