Merle Travis
Dark as a Dungeon [*]
Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fineSeek not your fortune in a dark dreary mineIt'll form as a habit and seep in your soulTill the stream of your blood runs as black as the coalWhere it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew danger is double pleasures are fewWhere the rain never falls the sun never shinesIt's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mineWell it's many a man that I've seen in my day(uh huh no laughin' during this song please it's bein' recorded)Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard with his wineA man will have lust for the lure of the mineAnd pray when I'm dead and my ages shall rollThat my body would blacken and turn into coalThen I'll look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner digging my bonesWhere it's dark as a dungeon
