Dark As A Dungeon

Written by Merle Travis

	  		E                                        A           B     E  
     Oh come all you young fellers, so young and so fine, seek not your  
                A           E                                A 
fortune in the dark dreary mind.  It'll form as a habit and seep in your 
 B               E                           A           E 
soul, till the stream of you blood runs as black as the coal.  Where it's 
 B                    A           E      B                   A          E 
dark as the dungeon, damp as the dew.  Danger is double, pleasures are few, 
                                       A          B           E 
where the rain never falls, where the sun never shines, it's dark as the  
             A           E                                         A 
dungeon way down in the mine.  Like a man with his dope, like a drunkard with 
     B       E                          A           E 
his wife, a man will have lust for the lure of the mine.  And I'll pray when 
                  A          B             E                      A 
I'm dead, and my ages shall roll, that my body would blacken and turn into 
 E                                         A      B        E  
coal.  And I'd look from the door of my heavenly home and pity the miner 
  A         E                 B                    A           E       B 
diggin my bones.  Where it's dark as the dungeon, damp as the dew.  Dangers 
                A          E                                    A 
are double, pleasures are few, where the rain never falls, the sun never  
  B           E                       A           E 
shines, it's dark as the dungeon way down in the mine.
