Verse 1
Oh come G all you young fellers,
so C young and so D7 fine,
G seek not your fortune
in the C dark dreary G mine
Verse 2
It'll G form as a habit
and C seep in your D7 soul,
till the G stream of you blood
runs as C black as the G coal
Chorus 1
D7 Where it's dark as a dungeon,
C damp as a G dew.
D7 Danger is double,
C pleasures are G few,
where the rain never G7 falls,
the C sun never D7 shines,
it's G dark as a dungeon
way C down in the G mine
Verse 3
Like a G man with his dope,
like a C drunkard with his D7 wine,
a G man will have lust
for the Cl ure of the G mine
Verse 4
And I'll G pray when I'm dead,
and my C ages shall D7 roll,
that my G body would blacken
and C turn into G coal
Verse 5
And I'd G look from the door
of my C heavenly D7 home
and G pity the miner
C diggin my G bones
Chorus 2
D7 Where it's dark as a dungeon,
C damp as a G dew.
D7 Danger is double,
C pleasures are G few,
where the rain never G7 falls,
the C sun never D7 shines,
it's G dark as a dungeon
way C down in the G mine
