| Notes: | A somber mining ballad highlighting the dangers and draw of life underground, popularized by Merle Travis and Johnny Cash. |
GCome listen you fellers so Cyoung and so Dfine
Oh Emseek not your Gfortune in the Cdark dreary Gmine
Where the Gdemons of Cdeath often come by sur-D7prise
One Emfall of the Gslate and you're Cburied a-Glive.
It's Ddark as a dungeon and Cdamp as the Gdew
Where Ddanger is double and Cpleasures are Gfew
Where the Grain never falls and the Csun never Dshines
It's Emdark as a Gdungeon way Cdown in the Gmines.
It's Gmany a man I've Cknown in my Dday
Who Emlived just to Glabor his Cwhole life a-Gway
Like a Gfiend with his dope and a Cdrunkard his Dwine
A Emman will have Glust for the Clure of the Gmine.
It's Ddark as a dungeon and Cdamp as the Gdew
Where Ddanger is double and Cpleasures are Gfew
Where the Grain never falls and the Csun never Dshines
It's Emdark as a Gdungeon way Cdown in the Gmines.
I Ghope when I'm gone and the Cages shall Droll
My Embody will Gblacken and Cturn into Gcoal
Then I'll Glook from the door of my Cheavenly Dhome
And Empity the Gminer a-Cdiggin' my Gbones.
slow down through verse
It's Ddark as a dungeon and Cdamp as the Gdew
Where Ddanger is double and Cpleasures are Gfew
Where the Grain never falls and the Csun never Dshines
It's Emdark as a Gdungeon way Cdown in the Gmines.
