Dark As A Dungeon Lyrics - Country Music - Willie Nelson

Come all you young fellers so young and so fine 

Seek not your fortune in a 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 

And it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew 

danger is double and the pleasures are few 

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 

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

Well it'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 with his wine 

A man will have lust for the lure of the mine

And it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew 

danger is double and the pleasures are few 

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 

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

The midnight, the morning, or the middle of the day 

It's the same to the miner who labors away 

Where the demons of the death often come by surprise 

One fall of the slate and you're buried alive. 

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

danger is double pleasures are few 

Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 

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

And pray when I'm dead and my ages shall roll 

That my body would blacken and turn into coal 

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

and pity the miner digging my bones
