Oh come all you fellers
So young and so fine
Seek not your fortune
In a dark prairie mine
It'll form as a habit
And seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood
Runs as black as the coal
Where it's dark as a dungeon
Down past the dew
Danger is a double
Pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
The sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mines
Like a bear with his tool
And a drunkard with his wine
A man will have lust
For the lure of the mine
And I pray when I'm dead
And my age it shall roll
That my body will blacken
And turn into coal
And I look from the door
Of my heavenly home
And pity the miner
Diggin' my bones
Where it's dark as a dungeon
Down past the dew
Danger is a double
Pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
The sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mines
