Verse 1
Bb
It's as dark as a dungeon way down
in the mine
I never will forget one time when I was on a little
Verse 2
Bb
Visit
down home in Ebenezer,
Kentucky.
I was a- talkin' to an old man that
had known me ever
Eb
Since the day I was born, and an old
friend
Of the family. He says, "Son,
You don't know how lucky
you are to have a nice job like you've got
F
And don't have to dig out a livin'
from under these
Old hills and hollers like
me and your pappy
Bb
Used to." When I asked him why
he never had left and
Tried some other kind of work,
he says,
"Nawsir, you just won't do that.
If ever you get this old coal dust in your
blood, you're just
Eb
Gonna be a plain old coal
miner as long as you live."
He went on to say, "It's a habit
F
(CHUCKLE)
Sorta like chewin' tobaccer."
Come and listen you fellows, so young and so fine,
Verse 3
Bb
And
Eb
seek not your fortune in the dark,
Eb
F
It will form as a habit and seep in your soul,
Bb
'Till the stream of your blood
Eb
Bb
is as black as the coal.
Verse 4
F
It's dark as a dungeon and
Bb
Eb
Bb
damp as the dew,
F
Where danger is double and
Bb
Eb
pleasures
Where the rain never falls and
Eb
F
the sun never shines
Bb
It's dark as a dungeon way
Eb
Bb
down in the mine.
It's a- many a man I have
seen in my day,
Who lived just to labor
Eb
his whole life away.
F
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine,
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines.
Verse 5
Bb
I hope when I'm gone
Eb
F
and the ages shall roll,
Bb
My body will blacken and
Eb
Bb
turn into coal.
Then I'll look from the door
Eb
F
of my heavenly home,
Bb
Eb
Bb
And pity the miner a- diggin' my bones.
Verse 6
Bb
Eb
or
Bb
the middle of day,
F
Is the same to the miner
Bb
Eb
Bb
who labors away.
Eb
F
Bb
Where the demons of death often
Eb
Bb
come by surprise,
Eb
One fall of the slate and
you're buried alive.
