Dark As A Dungeon

作词 : Merle Travis
 作曲 : Merle Travis
Come out ye, young fathers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine
It will form as a habit, and seep in your soul
'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Lord, it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Well, it's many a man that I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope, or a drunkard his wine
A man must have lust for the lure of the mine
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Lord, it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Well, I hope when I'm gone, all the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones
Were it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
Lord, it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
