Merle Travis - Dark as a dungeon

^GCome ^Glisten you fellers so ^Cyoung and ^Dfine Oh ^Emseek not your ^Gfortune in the ^Cdark dreary ^Gmine It will ^Gform as a habit and ^Cseep in your ^Dsoul Till the ^Emstream of your ^Gblood is as ^Cblack as the ^Gcoal.

It's ^Ddark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the ^Gdew Where ^Ddanger is double and ^Cpleasures are ^Gfew Where the ^Grain never falls and the ^Csun never ^Dshines It's ^Emdark as a ^Gdungeon way ^Cdown in the ^Gmines.

It's ^Gmany a man I've ^Cknown in my ^Dday Who ^Emlived just to ^Glabor his ^Cyoung life ^Gaway Like a ^Gfiend with his dope and a ^Cdrunkard his ^Dwine A ^Emman will have ^Glust for the ^Clure of the ^Gmine.

It's ^Ddark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the ^Gdew Where ^Ddanger is double and ^Cpleasures are ^Gfew Where the ^Grain never falls and the ^Csun never ^Dshines It's ^Emdark as a ^Gdungeon way ^Cdown in the ^Gmines.

The ^Gmidnight, the morning, or the ^Cmiddle of the ^Dday It's the s^Emame to the ^Gminer who ^Clabors ^Gaway Where the ^Gdemons of the ^Cdeath often come by ^Dsurprise One ^Emfall of the ^Gslate and you're ^Cburied ^Galive.

It's ^Ddark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the ^Gdew Where ^Ddanger is double and ^Cpleasures are ^Gfew Where the ^Grain never falls and the ^Csun never ^Dshines It's ^Emdark as a ^Gdungeon way ^Cdown in the ^Gmines.

I ^Ghope when I'm gone and the ^Cages shall ^Droll My ^Embody will ^Gblacken and ^Cturn into ^Gcoal Then I'll l^Gook from the door of my ^Cheavenly ^Dhome And ^Empity the ^Gminer a-^Cdiggin' my ^Gbones.

It's ^Ddark as a dungeon and ^Cdamp as the ^Gdew Where ^Ddanger is double and ^Cpleasures are ^Gfew Where the ^Grain never falls and the ^Csun never ^Dshines It's ^Emdark as a ^Gdungeon way ^Cdown in the ^Gmines.

It's ^Emdark as a ^Gdungeon way ^Cdown in the ^Gmines. It's ^Emdark as a ^Gdungeon way ^Cdown in the ^Gmines.
