Dark As a Dungeon - Merle Travis[00:00:00]

It's as dark as a dungeon[00:00:06]

Way down in the mine[00:00:09]

I never will forget one time[00:00:13]

When I was on a little visit down[00:00:14]

Home in ebenezer kentucky[00:00:16]

I was a-talking to an old man[00:00:18]

That had known me ever[00:00:20]

Since the day I was born and[00:00:21]

An old friend of the family[00:00:22]

He says son you don't know how[00:00:25]

Lucky you are to have a nice job[00:00:26]

Like you've got and don't have[00:00:28]

To dig out a living[00:00:29]

From under these old hills and hollers[00:00:30]

Like me and your pappy used to[00:00:33]

When I asked him why he never had left[00:00:35]

And tried some other kind of work he says[00:00:37]

Now Sir you just won't do that[00:00:39]

If ever you get this old[00:00:42]

Coal dust in your blood[00:00:43]

You're just gonna be a plain[00:00:44]

Old coal miner as long as you live[00:00:46]

He went on to say it's a habit[00:00:49]

Sorta like chewing tobaccer[00:00:51]

Come and listen you fellows[00:00:55]

So young and so fine[00:00:57]

And seek not your fortune[00:00:59]

In the dark dreary mines[00:01:02]

It will form as a habit[00:01:04]

And seep in your soul[00:01:06]

Till the stream of your[00:01:09]

Blood is as black as the coal[00:01:11]

It's dark as a dungeon[00:01:14]

And damp as the dew[00:01:16]

Where danger is double and[00:01:19]

Pleasures are few[00:01:22]

Where the rain never falls[00:01:24]

And the sun never shines[00:01:26]

It's dark as a dungeon[00:01:29]

Way down in the mine[00:01:31]

It's a many a man[00:01:41]

I have seen in my day[00:01:43]

Who lived just to labor[00:01:45]

His whole life away[00:01:48]

Like a fiend with his dope[00:01:50]

And a drunkard his wine[00:01:53]

A man will have lust for[00:01:55]

The lure of the mines[00:01:58]

I hope when I'm gone[00:02:00]

And the ages shall roll[00:02:02]

My body will blacken[00:02:05]

And turn into coal[00:02:08]

Then I'll look from the door[00:02:10]

Of my heavenly home[00:02:12]

And pity the miner a[00:02:15]

Digging my bones[00:02:18]

It's dark as a dungeon[00:02:20]

And damp as the dew[00:02:22]

Where danger is double[00:02:25]

And pleasures are few[00:02:27]

Where the rain never falls[00:02:30]

And the sun never shines[00:02:32]

It's dark as a dungeon way[00:02:35]

Down in the mine[00:02:39]
