Come listen you fellows, [Am]
young and so [G] fine, And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mind.
You will form as a habit, and seep in your soul, Till the stream of your blood is [D] as black [G] as the coal.
And it's dark as the dungeon, [C] and damp [G] as the dune, [D] For the danger is double, [C] and the pleasures [G] are few.
For the rain never falls, [C] and the sun never [D] shines, [G] And it's dark as the dungeon, [C] way down in the mines.
[C]
[G]
For there's many [D] a man, [C] that I've known [D] in my day, [G] Who lived just to labor [C] his whole [G] life away.
Like a fiend with his dough, [C] and a [D] drunkard his wine, [G] A man will have a lust for [C] the lure [G] of the mind.
[D] And it's dark as the dungeon, [C] and damp [G] as the dune, [D] For the danger is double, [C] and the pleasures [G] are few.
For the rain never falls, [C] and the sun never [D] shines, [G] And it's dark as the dungeon, [C] way down [G] in the mines.
[C]
[G]
On the midnight, or the morning, [C] or the middle [D] of the day, [G] It's the same to the miner [C] who labors [G] away.
For the demons of death [C] often come by [D] surprise, [G] One fall of the sleep, [C] and you're buried [G] alive.
For [D] it's dark as the dungeon, [C] and damp [G] as the dune, [D] For the danger is double, [C] and the pleasures [G] are few.
For the rain never falls, [C] and the sun never [D] shines, [G] And it's dark as the dungeon, [C] way down [G] in the mines.
[C]
[G]
I hope when I'm gone, and the ages [D] shall roll, [G] My body will blacken and [Am] turn [G] into coal,
And I'll look from the door [Cm] of my [G] heavenly home, And pity the miner [D] digging [G] my bones.
[D] For it's dark as the dungeon, [C] and damp [G] as the dune, [D] For the danger is double, [C] and the pleasures [G]
are few.
For the rain never falls, [C] and the sun [D] never shines, [G] And it's dark as the dungeon, [C] way down [G] in the mines.
