[Dolly Parton - Dark as a Dungeon lyrics]
Come and listen, you fellows
So young and so fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
It will form as a habit seep in your soul
Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal
There's many a man that I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine
It's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door
Of my heavenly home and I'll pity the miners
A-digging my bones
It's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
So young and so fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
It will form as a habit seep in your soul
Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal
There's many a man that I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine
It's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door
Of my heavenly home and I'll pity the miners
A-digging my bones
It's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
