_ _ _ _ Come and listen, you fellers, [D] so young and so [E] _ fine,
[A] And seek not your fortune [D] in the dark, dreary [A] mines.
It will form as a habit [D] and seep in your [E] soul, Till [A] the stream of your blood [D] runs as black
as the [A] coal. _ _
For [E] it's dark as a dungeon [D] and damp [A] as the dew,
[E] For the danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few,
For the rain never falls [D] and the sun never [E]
shines,
[A] Well, it's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mine. _ _ _ _ _

There's many a man I [D] have known in my [E] day, [A] Who lived just to labor [D] his whole life [A] away,
Like a fiend with his dope [D] and a drunkard [E] his wine,
[A] A man will have lust [D] for the lure [A] of the mine. _
_ For it's [E] dark as a dungeon, [D] damp [A] as the dew,
[E] For the danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few,
For the rain never falls [D] and the sun never [E]
shines,
Well, [A] it's dark as a dungeon [D] way down in [A] the mine. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I hope when I'm gone [D] and the ages shall [E]
roll,
[A] My body will blacken [D] and turn into [A]
coal,
Then I'll lift from the door [D] of my heavenly [E]
home,
And [A] I'll pity the miner _ [D] digging my [A]
bone.
For [E] it's dark as a dungeon [Bm] and damp [A] as the dew,
[E] For the danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few,
For the rain never falls [D] and the sun [E] never shines,
[A] Well, it's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mine. _ _ _ _
