Letra de «Dark As The Dungeon»
Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
Until the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew Danger is double, pleasures are few Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Well it's many a man that I've seen in my day... (Ha ha, no laughing during this song please... It's being recorded, I know. Hell, don't you know it's being recorded?) ...Like a friend with his dope and a drunkard with his wine A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
And pray when I'm dead and my ages shall roll That my body would blacken and turn into coal Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner digging my bones Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew Danger is double, pleasures are few Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
"Thank you very much, thank you very much. I'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't say 'hell' or 'shit' or anything like that. How's that grab you, Bob?"
