Dark As A Dungeon Lyrics - Dolly Parton

Come and listen you fellows 

So young and do 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 out the door 

Of my heavenly home 

And I'll pity the miners 

A-diggin' 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
