Dark As A Dungeon B 3/4

(I) Come listen you fellows so (IV) young and so (V7) fine
And (I) seek not your fortune in the (IV) dark dreary (I) mine
It will form as a habit and (IV) seep in your (V7) soul
'Till the (I) stream of your life blood is (IV) dark as the (I) coal

Chorus:
(I) It's (V7) dark as a dungeon and (I) damp as the dew
Where the (V7) dangers are double and the (I) pleasures are few
Where the rain never (I7) falls and the (IV) sun never (V7) shines
It's (I) dark as a dungeon way (IV) down in the (I) mines

It's a-many a man I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his poor life away
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine

And I hope when I die and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
I'll take a look from my heavenly home
And pity the miner a-diggin my bones

Chorus
