[Verse 1]
Come and listen, you fellows
So young and so fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
[Verse 2]
It will form as a habit
Seep in your soul
Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal
[Verse 3]
There's many a man
That I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away
[Verse 4]
Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine
[Pre-Chorus]
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Come and listen, you fellows
So young and so fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
[Verse 2]
It will form as a habit
Seep in your soul
Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal
[Verse 3]
There's many a man
That I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away
[Verse 4]
Like a fiend with his dope
And a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine
[Pre-Chorus]
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
