Dark As The Dungeon
Johnny Cash
Ton : E
E Oh come all you young fellers, so youAng and so finBe, seekE not your
fortune in the daArk dreary minEd. It'll form as a habit and seepA in your
soBul, till the streEam of you blood runs as blackA as the coal.E Where it's
daBrk as the dungeon, damAp as the dew.E DangerB is double, pleasuresA are few, E
where the rain never falls, where the suAn never shinBes, it's darkE as the
dungeon way doAwn in the minEe. Like a man with his dope, like a drunkaArd with
his wiBfe, a manE will have lust for the lureA of the mine.E And I'll pray when
I'm dead, and my agAes shall rolBl, that my bodyE would blacken and turn Ainto
coEal. And I'd look from the door of my heaveAnly homeB and pity Ethe miner
digAgin my boneEs. Where it's darkB as the dungeon, damp Aas the dew. EDangers B
are double, pleasAures are fewE, where the rain never falls, the sun Anever
shiBnes, it's darEk as the dungeon way downA in the mine.E
