thomas hellman - dark as a dungeon lyrics

Loading...

écoutez-moi jeunes gens fougueux et fiers
ne cherchez pas fortune dans ces trous sous la terre
car la mine est un vice, elle s’infiltre en dedans
jusqu’à ce que le charbon change la couleur de ton sang

j’ai connu beaucoup d’hommes ne se lever le matin
que pour plonger dans la mine y creuser son destin
comme le dopé a sa dope, le buveur sa robine
l’homme peut sombrer sous l’appel de la mine

il fait noir comme une tombe, humide comme la rosée
les bonheurs y sont rares et nombreux les dangers
le soleil ne brille pas et jamais la pluie ne tombe
il fait noir dans la mine comme au fond d’une tombe

oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine
seek not your fortune in a 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

it’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
the danger is 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

well it’s many a man that i’ve seen in my day
who lived just to toil his whole life away
like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine
a man will have l-st for the lure of the mine

it’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
the danger is 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

and pray when i’m gone that the ages shall roll
that my body will blacken and turn into coal
then i’ll look from the door of my heavenly home
and pity the miner digging my bones

it’s dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
the danger is 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
where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
it’s a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
