Version 1 Version 2Video Here - --/xU9eXn9HdTo [Intro] E [Verse 1] E A B Oh, come all you young fellers, so young and so fine E A E And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine E A B It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul E A E Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal [Chorus] B A E Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew B A E Danger is double and pleasures are few E A B Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines E A E It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine [Verse 2] E A B Well, it's many a man that I've known in my day E A E That would live just to labor his whole life away E A B Like a fiend with his dope, like a drunkard with his wine E A E A man will have lust for the lure of the mine [Verse 3] E A B And I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll E A E That my body would blacken and turn into coal E A B Then I'd look from the door of my heavenly home E A E And pity the miner digging my bones [Chorus] B A E Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew B A E Danger is double and the pleasures are few E A B Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines E A E It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
