เพลง Dark As A Dungeon

Dark As a Dungeon - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)

Come all you young fellers

So young and so fine

And seek not your fortunes 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

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

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

There is 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

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

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

I hope when I'm dead

And the ages shall roll

That my body will blacken

And turn into coal

I will look from the door of my heavenly home

And pity the miner a digging my bones

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

It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
