harry belafonte - dark as a dungeon lyrics
Loading...
come all you young fellers so young and so fine
seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine
it’ll form as a habit it’ll seed in your soul
till the blood in your veins runs black as the coal
for it’s dark as a dungeon and it’s damp as the dew
where the dangers are double the pleasures are few
where the rain never falls the sun never shines
oh god it’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
oh it’s many a man i’ve known in my day
who lived just to labor his whole life away
like a fiend for his dope a drunkard his wine
a man will have l-st for the lure of the mine
oh i hope when i die and the ages do roll
yes my body will harden and turn into coal
and i look from the door of my heavenly home
to see a poor miner a diggin’ my bones
