Dark As A Dungeon暗如地牢 - The Chieftains

Written by：Travis

Come all you young fellows so young and so fine

And seek not your fortune in the down in the mine

It will form like a habit and seep in your soul

Till the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

The danger is many 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 mine

There's many a man I have seen in my day

Who lived just to labor his whole life away

Like the fiend with his d**e and the drunkard his wine

A man can have lust for the lure of the mine

It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

The danger is many 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 mine

Oh when I am dead 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

The danger is many 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 mine

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
