jerry garcia - dark as a dungeon lyrics
come all you young fellows so young and so fine
and seek not your fortune way down in the mine
it will form like a habit and seep in your soul
till the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal
(chorus:)
it’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
the danger is doubled 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
there’s many a man i have seen in my day
who lived just to labor his whole life away
like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine
a man can have l-st for the lure of the mine
(chorus)
oh when i am dead and the ages shall roll
my body will blacken and turn into coal
then i’ll look from the door of my heavenly home
and pity the miner a-digging my bones
(chorus)
