[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
