[Verse 1]
Come and Listen [G]You young
felons, so [C]young and so [D]fine
And [G]seek not your fortune
in a [C]dark, dreary mine
[G]We'll form as a habit and
[C]seep [D]in your soul
Till the [G]stream of your blood
is as [C]black as the [Bm]coal
And [D]it's dark as a dungeon
Passed [C]down past the [G]dune
Where the [D]dangers double
And the [C]pleasures are few
[G]Where the rain never falls
And the [C]sun [D]never shines
It's [G]dark as a [D]dungeon
[C]Way down the [G]line[D][G]
Too many a man I've [C]known in my [D]day
Who [G]lived just to labour [C]his [G]life away
A good friend with his dough
and a [C]drink of his [D]wine
A [G]man will have lust
for the [C]lure of the [G]mind
And it's [D]dark as a dungeon,
as [C]damp as the [G]dune
Where the [D]danger is double,
and the [C]pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls,
and the [C]sun [D]never shines
It's [G]dark as a [D]dungeon,
[C]way down the [G]line[C][G]
[C][D][G]
[C][G][Em][G][D][G]
[Em][G]
Oh midnight in the morning
or the [C]middle of the day
[D]It's the [G]same to the miner who [C]labors [G]away,
Where the demons of death
often [C]come by sur[D]prise,
One [G]fall of the slate
and you're [C]buried [Bm]alive.
And it's [D]dark as a dungeon,
as [C]damp as the [G]dune,
Where the [D]dangers double
and the [C]pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls
and the [C]sun never [Bm]shines
It's [G]dark as a [D]dungeon
[C]way down the [G]line[C][G]
[C][D]
[G][C][G][D][C]
[G]
And I hope when I'm dead
an[C]d the ages shall r[D]oll
[G]My body will blacken, [C]turn into [G]coal
And I'll look from the door of
my [C]heaven's
Heavenly hope [D]and [G]pity
the minor [C]dig in my [Bm]bone
And it's [D]dark as a dungeon,
as [C]damp as the [G]dew
Where the [D]dangers double
and the [C]pleasures are [G]few
Where the rain never falls
and the [C]sun [D]never shines
It's [G]dark as the [D]dungeon
[C]way down the [G]line
