[Intro]
G C D
Em G C G
[Verse 1]
G C D
Come listen you fellers so young and so fine
Em G C G
Oh seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine
G C D
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul
Em G C G
Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
[Chorus]
D C G
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
D C G
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
G C D
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Em G C G
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
[Verse 2]
G C D
The midnight, the morning, the middle of the day
Em G C G
It's the same to the miner who labors away
G C D
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
Em G C G
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive
[Verse 3]
G C D
And it's many a man that I've known in my day
Em G C G
Who have lived just to labor his young life away
G C D
Like a fiend with his dope or a drunk his wine
Em G C G
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
[Chorus]
D C G
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
D C G
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
G C D
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Em G C G
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
[Chorus]
D C G
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
D C G
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
G C D
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Em G C G
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
[Verse 4]
G C D
And I hope when I die and the ages shall roll
Em G C G
My body will blacken and turn into coal
G C D
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
Em G C G
And I'll pity the miner diggin' my bones
[Chorus]
D C G
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
D C G
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
G C D
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Em G C G
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
