Dark As A Dungeon - Odetta

Come all you young fellers so young and so fine

And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine

It will form like a habit and seep in your soul

'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal

It's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew

Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

There is many a man I know in my day

Who lived just to labor his whole life away

Like the fiend for his d**e and the drunkard his wine

A man will have lust for the lure of the mine

Well I hope when I'm dead and the ages do roll

My body will blacken and turn into coal

I will look from the door of my heavenly home

And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones

Well it's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew

But the dangers are double and the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
