About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Come all you young feller's, 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 Until the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal [Chorus] It's dark as a dungeon and 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 [Verse 2] There is many a man I have seen in my day Who lived just to labour his whole life away Like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine A man will have lust for the lure of the mine [Chorus] [Verse 3] I hope when I'm dead and the ages shall roll That my body will blacken and turn into coal I will look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner a' digging my bones [Chorus] [Outro] It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
