Willie Nelson( Willie Hugh Nelson )

Dark As A Dungeon

Lyricist:Merle Travis

Come listen you fellas, young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in a 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

And it's dark as the dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
And it's dark as the dungeon, way down in the mines

It's many a man 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 a lust for the lure of the mine

And it's dark as the dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
And it's dark as the dungeon way down in the mines

On midnight or the morning or the middle of the day
It's the same to the miner who labors away
Where the demons of death often come by surprise
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive

Where it's dark as the dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
And it's dark as the dungeon way down in the mines

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 pity the miner a-digging my bones

Where it's dark as the dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the danger is double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
And it's dark as the dungeon way down in the mines
