Come all you young fellers so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
Where its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Lord its dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
Well its many a man that I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope or a drunkard his wine
A man must have lust for the lure of the mine
Where its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Lord its dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
Well I hope when I'm gone all 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
Where its dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Lord its dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
