[00:09.47]Come and listen you fellows [00:12.08]So young and so fine [00:14.14]And seek not your fortune [00:16.06]In a dark dreary mine [00:18.76]It'll form as a habit [00:20.93]And seep in your soul [00:22.82]Till the stream of your blood [00:24.89]Runs as black as the coal [00:26.69] [00:28.46]Where it's dark as a dungeon [00:30.83]And damp as the dew [00:33.39]Danger is double [00:35.52]And pleasures are few [00:37.96]Where the rain never falls [00:40.11]And the sun never shines [00:42.49]It's a dark as a dungeon way [00:45.02]Down in the mine [00:46.93] [00:54.33]Well it's many a man [00:55.92] [00:56.66]That I've seen in my day [00:59.35]That would lived just to labor [01:01.17]His whole life away [01:03.53]Like a fiend with his **** [01:05.58] [01:06.14]And like a drunkard his wine [01:08.63]A man will have lust for [01:10.65]The lure of the mine [01:12.55] [01:14.20]Where it's dark as a dungeon [01:16.67]And damp as the dew [01:18.68] [01:19.50]Danger is double [01:21.32]And pleasures are few [01:23.28] [01:23.92]Where the rain never falls [01:26.33]And the sun never shines [01:27.94] [01:28.75]And it's a dark as a dungeon [01:31.13]Way down in the mine [01:33.25] [01:42.05]The midnight or the morning [01:44.54]Or the breaking of day [01:46.11] [01:46.81]Are the same to the miner [01:49.18]Who labors away [01:51.11] [01:51.68]Where the demons of death [01:53.85]Often come by surprise [01:55.20] [01:56.59]One fellow of the slate [01:58.73]And you're buried alive [02:00.31] [02:02.88]It's dark as a dungeon [02:04.25] [02:04.92]And damp as the dew [02:07.51]Where the danger is double [02:09.02]And the pleasures are few [02:12.60]Where the rain never falls [02:14.87]And the sun never shines [02:16.11] [02:17.07]And it's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines [02:20.90] [02:30.43]I hope when I'm dead [02:32.77]And the ages shall roll [02:35.42]That my body will blacken [02:37.46]And turn into coal [02:39.86]I will look from the door [02:42.04]Of my heavenly home [02:43.85] [02:44.71]And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones [02:48.53] [02:50.41]And it's dark as a dungeon [02:52.67]And damp as the dew [02:54.61] [02:55.37]Where the danger is double [02:57.19]And the pleasures are few [02:59.26] [02:59.95]Where the rain never falls [03:01.62] [03:02.25]And the sun never shines [03:04.65]It's dark as a dungeon [03:07.06]Way down in the mines
