[Eb]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb] Oh, come all you young fellers, so [Ab] young and so [Bb] fine,
[Eb] Seek not your fortune [Ab] in the dark dreary mine.
It'll [Bb] form as [Eb] a habit [Ab] and seep in [Bb] your soul,
[Eb] Till the stream of your blood runs [Ab] as black [Eb] as the coal.
Where [Bb] it's dark as a dungeon,
[Ab] damp [Bb] as a dew,
Danger is double, [Ab] pleasures are [Eb] few.
Where the rain never falls, [Ab] the sun never [Bb] shines,
[Eb] It's dark as a dungeon, [Ab] way down in the [Eb] mine.
Well, there's many a man [Ab] that I've seen in my day,
[Eb] No laughing during the song, please.
It's been [Eb] recorded, I know, hell, don't you know it's recorded?
Like a fiddler with his stoke [Ab] and a dropper with his [Bb] wife,
[Eb] A man will howl blessed for [Ab] the lure [Eb] of the mine.
And the prey, when I'm dead and [Ab] my ages shall [Bb] roll,
That [Eb] my body would blacken [Ab] and turn [Bb] into coal.
Then I'd look from [Eb] the door [Ab] of my heavenly [Bb] home
[Eb] And pity the miner [Ab] digging [Eb] my bones.
[Bb] Where it's dark as a dungeon, [Ab] damp as [Eb] a dew,
[B] [Bb] Danger is double, [Ab] pleasures [Eb] are few.
Where the rain never falls, the [Ab] sun [Bb] never shines,
[Eb] It's dark as a dungeon, [Ab] way down in the [Eb]
mine.

mine.
