O h come all you young fellers young and so fine.

S eek not your fortune in the dark dreary mi ne.

It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul

Till the strea m of you blood runs as black as the coal.

Where it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew

d anger is double; pleasure s are few.

Where the rain never falls the sun never shines

It's da rk as a dungeon way down in the min e.

W ell I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll

that my body w ill blacken and turn into coal.

Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home

and pity the miner diggin' my bones.

Where it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew

d anger is double; pleasure s are few.

Where the rain never falls the sun never shines

It's da rk as a dungeon way down in the min e.
