| [00:09.47] |
Come and listen you fellows |
| [00:12.08] |
So young and so fine |
| [00:14.14] |
And seek not your fortune |
| [00:16.06] |
In a dark dreary mine |
| [00:18.76] |
It'll form as a habit |
| [00:20.93] |
And seep in your soul |
| [00:22.82] |
Till the stream of your blood |
| [00:24.89] |
Runs as black as the coal |
| [00:26.69] |
|
| [00:28.46] |
Where it's dark as a dungeon |
| [00:30.83] |
And damp as the dew |
| [00:33.39] |
Danger is double |
| [00:35.52] |
And pleasures are few |
| [00:37.96] |
Where the rain never falls |
| [00:40.11] |
And the sun never shines |
| [00:42.49] |
It's a dark as a dungeon way |
| [00:45.02] |
Down in the mine |
| [00:46.93] |
|
| [00:54.33] |
Well it's many a man |
| [00:55.92] |
|
| [00:56.66] |
That I've seen in my day |
| [00:59.35] |
That would lived just to labor |
| [01:01.17] |
His whole life away |
| [01:03.53] |
Like a fiend with his dope |
| [01:05.58] |
|
| [01:06.14] |
And like a drunkard his wine |
| [01:08.63] |
A man will have lust for |
| [01:10.65] |
The lure of the mine |
| [01:12.55] |
|
| [01:14.20] |
Where it's dark as a dungeon |
| [01:16.67] |
And damp as the dew |
| [01:18.68] |
|
| [01:19.50] |
Danger is double |
| [01:21.32] |
And pleasures are few |
| [01:23.28] |
|
| [01:23.92] |
Where the rain never falls |
| [01:26.33] |
And the sun never shines |
| [01:27.94] |
|
| [01:28.75] |
And it's a dark as a dungeon |
| [01:31.13] |
Way down in the mine |
| [01:33.25] |
|
| [01:42.05] |
The midnight or the morning |
| [01:44.54] |
Or the breaking of day |
| [01:46.11] |
|
| [01:46.81] |
Are the same to the miner |
| [01:49.18] |
Who labors away |
| [01:51.11] |
|
| [01:51.68] |
Where the demons of death |
| [01:53.85] |
Often come by surprise |
| [01:55.20] |
|
| [01:56.59] |
One fellow of the slate |
| [01:58.73] |
And you're buried alive |
| [02:00.31] |
|
| [02:02.88] |
It's dark as a dungeon |
| [02:04.25] |
|
| [02:04.92] |
And damp as the dew |
| [02:07.51] |
Where the danger is double |
| [02:09.02] |
And the pleasures are few |
| [02:12.60] |
Where the rain never falls |
| [02:14.87] |
And the sun never shines |
| [02:16.11] |
|
| [02:17.07] |
And it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines |
| [02:20.90] |
|
| [02:30.43] |
I hope when I'm dead |
| [02:32.77] |
And the ages shall roll |
| [02:35.42] |
That my body will blacken |
| [02:37.46] |
And turn into coal |
| [02:39.86] |
I will look from the door |
| [02:42.04] |
Of my heavenly home |
| [02:43.85] |
|
| [02:44.71] |
And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones |
| [02:48.53] |
|
| [02:50.41] |
And it's dark as a dungeon |
| [02:52.67] |
And damp as the dew |
| [02:54.61] |
|
| [02:55.37] |
Where the danger is double |
| [02:57.19] |
And the pleasures are few |
| [02:59.26] |
|
| [02:59.95] |
Where the rain never falls |
| [03:01.62] |
|
| [03:02.25] |
And the sun never shines |
| [03:04.65] |
It's dark as a dungeon |
| [03:07.06] |
Way down in the mines |
