Dark as a Dungeon - Merle Travis[00:00:00]
Written by:MERLE TRAVIS[00:00:02]
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine[00:00:06]
Come and listen you fellows so young and so fine[00:00:54]
And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mines[00:00:59]
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul[00:01:03]
'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal[00:01:08]
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew[00:01:13]
Where danger is double and pleasures are few[00:01:18]
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines[00:01:23]
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine[00:01:28]
It's a many a man I have seen in my day[00:01:40]
Who lived just to labor his whole life away[00:01:45]
Like a fiend with his d**e and a drunkard his wine[00:01:49]
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines[00:01:54]
I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll[00:01:59]
My body will blacken and turn into coal[00:02:04]
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home[00:02:09]
And pity the miner a diggin' my bones[00:02:14]
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew[00:02:19]
Where danger is double and pleasures are few[00:02:24]
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines[00:02:29]
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine[00:02:34]
