[00:00.00]Dark As A Dungeon - Merle Travis
[00:06.09]It's as dark as a dungeon
[00:08.88]Way down in the mine
[00:13.19]I never will forget one time
[00:14.52]When I was on a little visit down
[00:15.98]Home in ebenezer kentucky
[00:18.60]I was a-talking to an old man
[00:19.98]That had known me ever
[00:21.29]Since the day I was born and
[00:22.75]An old friend of the family
[00:25.16]He says son you don't know how
[00:26.50]Lucky you are to have a nice job
[00:28.31]Like you've got and don't have
[00:29.54]To dig out a living
[00:30.56]From under these old hills and hollers
[00:33.08]Like me and your pappy used to
[00:35.75]When I asked him why he never had left
[00:37.65]And tried some other kind of work he says
[00:39.65]Now Sir you just won't do that
[00:42.40]If ever you get this old
[00:43.36]Coal dust in your blood
[00:44.71]You're just gonna be a plain
[00:46.22]Old coal miner as long as you live
[00:49.26]He went on to say it's a habit
[00:51.41]Sorta like chewing tobaccer
[00:54.86]Come and listen you fellows
[00:57.14]So young and so fine
[00:59.41]And seek not your fortune
[01:02.02]In the dark dreary mines
[01:04.44]It will form as a habit
[01:06.72]And seep in your soul
[01:09.14]Till the stream of your
[01:10.94]Blood is as black as the coal
[01:14.38]It's dark as a dungeon
[01:16.73]And damp as the dew
[01:19.24]Where danger is double and
[01:21.83]Pleasures are few
[01:24.07]Where the rain never falls
[01:26.23]And the sun never shines
[01:29.06]It's dark as a dungeon
[01:31.66]Way down in the mine
[01:40.90]It's a many a man
[01:43.26]I have seen in my day
[01:45.53]Who lived just to labor
[01:48.32]His whole life away
[01:50.50]Like a fiend with his **
[01:52.92]And a drunkard his wine
[01:55.66]A man will have lust for
[01:57.95]The lure of the mines
[02:00.17]I hope when I'm gone
[02:02.59]And the ages shall roll
[02:05.53]My body will blacken
[02:08.08]And turn into coal
[02:10.26]Then I'll look from the door
[02:12.53]Of my heavenly home
[02:15.16]And pity the miner a
[02:18.01]Digging my bones
[02:19.95]It's dark as a dungeon
[02:22.67]And damp as the dew
[02:25.20]Where danger is double
[02:27.42]And pleasures are few
[02:30.29]Where the rain never falls
[02:32.39]And the sun never shines
[02:35.60]It's dark as a dungeon way
[02:39.18]Down in the mine
