#1.
Ab C# Eb
Oh, come all you young fellas so young and so fine,
Ab C# Ab
and seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine.
Ab C# Eb
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul,
Ab C# Ab
till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal.
CHORUS:
Ab Eb Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
Eb Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab C# Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
Ab C# Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.
#2.
Ab C# Eb
Well, it's many a man that I've seen in my day,
Ab C# Ab
who lived just to labor his whole life away.
Ab C# Eb
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine..
Ab C# Ab
a man will have lust, for the lure of the mine.
CHORUS:
Ab Eb Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
Eb Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab C# Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
Ab C# Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.
#3.
Ab C# Eb
And I pray when I'm dead, and the ages shall roll..
Ab C# Ab
that my body would blacken and turn into coal.
Ab C# Eb
Then I'll look from the door of my Heavenly home
Ab C# Ab
and pity the miner, digging my bones.
CHORUS:
Ab Eb Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
Eb Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab C# Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
Ab C# Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.
OUTRO:
Ab Eb Ab
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew.
Eb Ab
Where the danger is double and pleasures are few.
Ab C# Eb
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines..
Ab C# Ab
it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines.
