Dark As The Dungeon Lyrics - At Folsom Prison - Johnny Cash

Oh, come all you young fellers, young and so fine 

Seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine 

It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul 

Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal 

Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew 

Danger is double, pleasures are few 

Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines 

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine 

Well, I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll 

That my body will blacken and turn into coal 

Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home 

And pity the miner digging my bones
