Dark As A Dungeon (Live at The Half Beat, Yorkville, Toronto, Canada, 10/21/1964)

[Intro]
This is a song that we can all join in on the chorus. It's called 'Dark as a Dungeon'

[Verse 1]
Come all you young fellers
So young and so fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark dreary mine
It will form as a habit
And seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood
Runs as black as the coal

[Chorus]
Where it's dark as a dungeon
And damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
And the sun never shines
Lord, it's a dark as a dungeon
Down in the mines

[Verse 2]
Now it's many a man
I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away
Like a fiend for his dope
Or a drunkard his wine
A man must have lust
For the lure of the mine

[Chorus]
Where it's dark as a dungeon
And damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
And the sun never shines
Lord, it's a dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mines

[Verse 3]
Now I hope when I'm gone
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
Who's digging my bones

[Chorus]
Where it's dark as a dungeon
And damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
And the sun never shines
Lord, it's a dark as a dungeon
Down in the mines
