Dolly Parton - Dark As A Dungeon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come and listen, you fellows
So young and so fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines

[Verse 2]
It will form as a habit
Seep in your soul
Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal

[Verse 3]
There's many a man
That I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away

[Verse 4]
Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine

[Pre-Chorus]
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few

[Chorus]
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine

[Verse 6]
I hope when I'm gone
And the ages shall roll
My body will blacken
And turn into coal

[Verse 7]
Then I'll look from the door
Of my heavenly home
And I'll pity the miners
A-digging my bones

[Pre-Chorus]
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few

[Chorus]
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
