[A]
Come listen, you fellows, [D] so young and so [E] fine,
[A] And seek not your fortune [D] in the dark [A] dreary mind.
It will thorn as a heaven [D] and seep in [E] your soul,
[A] Till the stream of your blood [D] is as black as [A] a thorn.
[E] It's dark as a dungeon [A] and damp as a deep,
Where the [E] danger is double and [D] the pleasures [A] are few.
Where the rain never falls [D] and the sun [E] never shines,
[A] It's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mountains.
[D]
[E] [A]
It's many a man [D] I've seen in [E] my days,
[A] Who lived just to lay [D] his whole [A] life away,
Like a thief with his dough [D] and a drunkard [E] his wine.
[A] A man will have rest [D] for the lure [A] of a mine.
[E] It's dark as a dungeon [A] and damp as a deep,
[E] Where the danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few.
Where the rain never falls [D] and the sun [E] never shines,
[A] It's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mountains.
I hope that I'm gone [D] and the ages [E] shall roll,
My [A] body will jar and [D] turn [A] into gold,
And all of the mongrel gold [D] of my [E] heavenly home,
[A] And pity the miners [D] a-digging [A] my pole.
[E] It's dark as a dungeon [A] and damp as a deep,
Where the [E] danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few.
Where the rain never falls [D] and the sun [C#m] never [E] shines,
[A] It's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mountains.
