Come all ye young laddies so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
'Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's many the man that I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like the fiend with his dope or the drunkard his wine
A man must have lust for the lure of the mine
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
The rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
And I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
