Letra de Dark As a Dungeon

Come listen you fellows so young and so fine And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine It will 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 and damp as the dew Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines It's many a man I've known in my day Who lived just to labor his young life away Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine A man will have lust for the lure of the mine It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 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 miner a-digging my bones It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
