Dark As The Dungeon

<p>Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine<br/>Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine<br/>It&#x27;ll form as a habit and seep in your soul<br/>Until the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal<br/><br/>Where it&#x27;s dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew<br/>Danger is double, pleasures are few<br/>Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines<br/>It&#x27;s dark as a dungeon way down in the mine<br/><br/>Well it&#x27;s many a man that I&#x27;ve seen in my day...<br/>(Ha ha, no laughing during this song please... It&#x27;s being recorded, I know. Hell, don&#x27;t you know it&#x27;s being recorded?)<br/>...Like a friend with his dope and a drunkard with his wine<br/>A man will have lust for the lure of the mine<br/><br/>And pray when I&#x27;m dead and my ages shall roll<br/>That my body would blacken and turn into coal<br/>Then I&#x27;ll look from the door of my heavenly home<br/>And pity the miner digging my bones<br/>Where it&#x27;s dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew<br/>Danger is double, pleasures are few<br/>Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines<span><br/>It&#x27;s dark as a dungeon way down in the mine<br/><br/>&quot;Thank you very much, thank you very much. I&#x27;m sorry about that little interruption there, but I just want to tell you that this show is being recorded for an album release on Columbia Records and you can&#x27;t say &#x27;hell&#x27; or &#x27;shit&#x27; or anything like that. How&#x27;s that grab you, Bob?&quot;
