Dark As A Dungeon (From The Documentary Film “From the Ashes”) - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]

Written by：Merle Travis[00:00:02]

Come all you young fellers so young and so fine[00:00:08]

And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine[00:00:13]

It will form like a habit and seep in your soul[00:00:18]

'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal[00:00:23]

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew[00:00:29]

Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few[00:00:34]

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines[00:00:39]

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines[00:00:44]

There is many a man I have seen in my day[00:00:56]

Who lived just to labor his whole life away[00:01:01]

Like the fiend with his d**e and the drunkard his wine[00:01:06]

A man will have lust for the lure of the mine[00:01:11]

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew[00:01:18]

Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few[00:01:23]

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines[00:01:28]

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines[00:01:33]

Well the midnight or the morning or the middle of day[00:01:45]

Is the same to the miner digging away[00:01:50]

For the demons of death often come by surprise[00:01:55]

One fall of the slate and you're buried alive[00:02:00]

For it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew[00:02:07]

Where danger are double and pleasures are few[00:02:12]

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines[00:02:17]

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines[00:02:22]

Well I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll[00:02:36]

My body will blacken and turn into coal[00:02:41]

I'll look from the door of my heavenly home[00:02:46]

And pity the miner digging my bones[00:02:51]

Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew[00:02:58]

Where danger are double and pleasures are few[00:03:03]

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines[00:03:08]

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines[00:03:13]

Come all you young fellers so young and so fine[00:04:00]

And seek not your fortunes in the dark dreary mines[00:04:05]
