Dark as a Dungeon - Joan Baez (瓊·貝茲)
Written by:Merle Travis
Come all your fellows so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune with dreary mines
It will form as a habit seep in your soul
Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
Dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's a many a man I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his d**e a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines
Dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
I hope when I'm gone the ages to roll
My body may blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity that miner a digging my bones
Dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
