[Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
Oh come all you young fellers, [Ab] so young and so [Bb] fine,
[Eb] Seek not your fortune [Ab] in the dark dreary [Eb] mine.
It'll form as [Eb] a habit [Ab] and seep in [Bb] your soul,
Till [Eb] the stream of your blood runs [Ab] as black as the coal.
[Bb] Where it's dark as a dungeon, [Ab] damp [Eb] as a dew,
[C] [Bb] Danger is double, [Ab] pleasures are [Eb] few.
Where the rain never [Eb]
falls, [Ab] the sun never [Bb] shines,
It's [Eb] dark as a dungeon, [Ab] way down in the [Eb] mine.
Well, there's many a [Eb] man that [Ab] I've seen in my [Bb] 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 pig with his stope [Ab] and a dropbird with [Bb] his wife,
A man will howl bliss for [Ab] the lure of [Eb] the mine.
And to pray what I'm dead [Ab] and my ages [Bb] shall roll,
That my body would blacken [Ab] and turn into [Eb] coal.
And I'd look from the door [Ab] of my [Bb] heavenly 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,
[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 the [Eb] mine.
[Ebm] [Eb]
[F] Thank you very much.
Thank you very much.
[Am] Sorry about that little interruption there,
but I just wanted to [N] tell you that this show is being recorded
for an album release on Columbia Records
and you can't say hell or shit or anything like that.
