[G]Come listen you fellers, so [C]young and so [D]fine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh seek not your [G]fortunes in the [C]dark dreary [G]mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]It will form like a habit and [C]seep in your [D]soul<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Til the [G]stream of your blood flows as [C]black as the [G]coal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————————————-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[D]It\u2019s dark as a dungeon and [C]damp as the [G]dew<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where [D]danger are double and [C]pleasures are [G]few<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]Where the rain never falls and the [C]sun never [D]shines<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s dark as a [G]dungeon way [C]down in the [G]mines<\/p>\n\n\n\n

—————————————————<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]It\u2019s many a man I\u2019ve [C]known in my [D]day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who lived just to [G]labor his [C]young life a[G]way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]Like the fiend with his dope and the [C]drunkard his [D]wine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man will have [G]lust for the [C]lure of the [G]mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]The midnight, the morning or the [C]middle of the [D]day<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u00b4s the same to the [G]miner who [C]labors a[G]way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]Where the demons of death often [C]come by [D]surprise<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One fall of the [G]slate and your\u2019e [C]buried [G]alive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]I hope when I\u2019m gone and the [C]ages shall [D]roll<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My body will [G]blacken and [C]turn into [G]coal<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[G]When I\u00b4ll look from the door of my [C]heavenly [D]home<\/p>\n\n\n\n
