Dolly Parton - Dark As A Dungeon Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Come and listen you fellows

So young and do fine

And seek not your fortune

In the dark, dreary mines

It will form as a habit

Seep in your soul

til the blood in your veins

Runs as black as the coal

Theres many a man

That Ive known in my day

Who lived just to labor

His whole life away

Like a fiend with his dope

And a drunkard his wine

A man will have lust for

The lure of the mine

Its dark as a dungeon

Damp as the dew

The danger is double

And the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls

Where the sun never shines

Its dark as a dungeon

Way down in the mine

I hope when Im gone

And the ages shall roll

My body will blacken

And turn into coal

Then Ill look out the door

Of my heavenly home

And Ill pity the miners

A-diggin my bones

Its dark as a dungeon

Damp as the dew

The danger is double

And the pleasures are few

Where the rain never falls

Where the sun never shines

Its dark as a dungeon

Way down in the mine

Where the rain never falls

Where the sun never shines

Its dark as a dungeon

Way down in the mine
