Kathy Mattea - Dark as a dungeon

Come and ^Clisten you fellows, so ^Fyoung and so ^Gfine And ^Cseek not your fortunes in the ^Fdark dreary ^Cmines It will form as a habit and ^Fseep in your ^Gsoul 'Til the ^Cstream of your blood runs as ^Fblack as the ^Ccoal

Where it's ^Gdark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the dew Where ^Gdanger is double and ^Fpleasures are ^Cfew Where the rain never falls and the ^Fsun never ^Gshines It's ^Cdark as a dungeon way ^Fdown in the ^Cmines

It's a many a man I have ^Fknown in my ^Gday Who ^Clived just to labour his ^Fwhole life a^Cway Like a fiend with his dope, or a ^Fdrunkard his ^Gwine A ^Cman will have lust for the ^Flure of the ^Cmines

Where it's ^Gdark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the dew Where ^Gdanger is double and ^Fpleasures are ^Cfew Where the rain never falls and the ^Fsun never ^Gshines It's ^Cdark as a dungeon way ^Fdown in the ^Cmines

Well, the midnight or the morning or the ^Fmiddle of ^Gday Is the ^Csame to the miner ^Fdigging a^Cway Where the demons of death often ^Fcome by sur^Gprise One ^Cfall of the slate and you're ^Fburied a^Clive

Well, I ^Fhope when I^G'm gone and the ages shall roll My ^Cbody will blacken and ^Fturn into ^Ccoal Then I'll look from the door of my ^Fheavenly ^Ghome And ^Ampity the ^Emminer ^Fdigging my ^Cbones

Where it's ^Gdark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the dew Where ^Gdanger is double and ^Fpleasures are ^Cfew Where the rain never falls and the ^Fsun never ^Gshines It's ^Cdark as a dungeon way ^Fdown in the ^Cmines
