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