G                              C            D 
Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine 
G                              C           G  
And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine 
G                             G            D   
It will form like a habit and seep in your soul 
G                                      C            G 
'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal 

D                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew 
D                                    C             G 
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few 
G                                  C         D 
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 
G                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 

G                          C          D  
There is many a man I have seen in my day 
G                           C           G   
Who lived just to labor his whole life away 
G                                    C            D 
Like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine 
G                            C           G 
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine 

D                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew 
D                                    C             G 
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few 
G                                  C         D 
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 
G                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 

G                            C          D 
I hope when I'm dead and the ages shall roll 
G                             C         G 
That my body will blacken and turn into coal 
G                               C        D 
I will look from the door of my heavenly home 
G                     C          G  
And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones 

D                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew 
D                                    C             G 
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few 
G                                  C         D 
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines 
G                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 
G                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines 
G                          C           G 
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
