Lyrics for Dark As A Dungeon by Jerry Garcia:
| | | Artist: | Jerry Garcia |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Dark As A Dungeon | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 79 | | | | Lyrics: | Come all you young fellows so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune way down in the
mine
It will form like a habit and seep in your soul
Till the stream of your blood flows as
black as the coal
(Chorus:)
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
The danger
is doubled and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never
shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
There's many a man I have seen in my
day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like the fiend with his dope and the
drunkard his wine
A man can have lust for the lure of the mine
(Chorus)
Oh
when I am dead 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 a-digging my bones
(Chorus) | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
