Come all you young fellas so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
'Til the blood of your veins runs as black as the coal
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are many, 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 many a man I have 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 it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are many, 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
Well, I hope when I'm gone and the ages do roll
My body will blacken and form into coal
I'll look down from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner that's diggin' my bones
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are many, 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
