_ _ _ Come and listen, you fellers, [D] so young and [E] so fine,
[A] And seek not your fortune [D] in the dark, [A] dreary mines.
It will form as a habit [D] and seep in [E] your soul,
[A] Till the stream of your blood [D] runs as black as [A] the coal. _ _
For [E] it's dark as a dungeon, [D] damp [A] as the dew,
[E] For the danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few.
For the rain never falls [D] and the sun [E] never shines,
[A] Well, it's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mine. _ _ _ _ _

There's many a man [D] I have known in [E] my day,
[A] Who lived just to labor [D] his whole life [A] away.
_ Like a fiend with his dope _ [D] and a [E] drunkard his wine,
[A] A man will have lust [D] for the lure [A] of the mine. _ _
For [E] it's dark as a dungeon, [D] damp [A] as the dew,
[E] For the danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few.
For the rain never falls [D] and the sun never [E] shines,
[A] Well, it's dark as a dungeon [D] way down in [A] the mine. _ _ _ _ _

I hope when I'm gone [D] and the ages [E] shall roll,
[A] My body will blacken [D] and turn into [A] coal.
Then I'll look from the door [D] of my heavenly [E] home,
[A] And I'll pity the miner _ [D] digging my [A] bones.
For [E] it's dark as a dungeon, [D] damp [A] as the dew,
For the [E] danger is double [D] and the pleasures [A] are few.
For the rain never falls [D] and the sun [E] never shines,
[A] Well, it's dark as a dungeon [D] way down [A] in the mine. _ _ _ _ _
