[G]
Oh young fellow so [C] young and so [D] vile
[G] And seek not your fortune in [C] the dark, [G] dearie mine
It'll fall like a habit [C] and seep through [D] your soul
[G] Till the stream of your blood [C] flows black as [G] gold
[D] It's dark as the dungeons [C] and damp [G] as the dune
[D] Where the dangers are double [C] and the pleasures [G] are few
Where the rain never falls [C] and the sun [D] never shines
[G] It's dark as the dungeons [C] way down in [G] the mines
[C] [G]
There's many a man [Dm] I [C] have seen in my [D] day
[G] Who've lived just to labour [C] his whole [G] life away
Like a bee with a stope [C] and a trunk that [D] is wide
[G] A man will have lust [C] for the lure [G] of the mine
[D] It's dark as the dungeons [C] and damp [G] as the dune

[C]
[G] Come midnight or morning [C] or middle [D] of day
It's [G] the same to the miner who [C] labours [G] away
For the demons of death [C] often come by [D] surprise
[G] One fall of the slate [C] and you're buried [G] alive
[D] Oh, it's dark as the dungeons [C] and damp [G] as the dune
[D] Where the dangers are double [C] and the pleasures [G] are few
Where the rain never falls [C] and the sun [D] never shines
[G] It's dark as the dungeons [C] way down [G] in the mines
[C] [G]
I hope when I'm dead [C] and the ages [D] shall roll
[G] My body black and [C] turning [G] cold
I'll look from the door of my [C] heavenly [D] home
[G]
[C] Take in [G] my bone
[D] It's dark as the dungeons [C] and damp [G] as the dune
[D] Where the dangers are double [C] and the pleasures [G] are few
