Cow boy young l _ adies so young and fine__ _ _
Oh seek not your f _ ortune in the dark dreary mine__ _ _
It will form as a h _ abit and seep in your soul__ _ _
Till the stream of your b _ lood is as black as the coal__ _ _
It's dark as a d _ ungeon and damp as the dew Where
Where danger is d _ ouble and pleasures are few__ _ _
Where the rain never f _ alls and the sun never shines__ _ _
It's dark as a d _ ungeon way down in the mines__ _ _ d4,0 e6,0 gb6,2 g6,3
It's many a m _ an I've known in my day__ _ _
Who lived just to l _ abor his young life a way__ _ _
Like a fiend with his d _ ope and a drunkard his wine__ _ _
A man will have l _ ust for the lure of the mine__ _ _
It's dark as a d _ ungeon and damp as the dew Where
Where danger is d _ ouble and pleasures are few__ _ _
Where the rain never f _ alls and the sun never shines__ _ _
It's dark as a d _ ungeon way down in the mines__ _ _ d4,0 e6,0 gb6,2 g6,3
I hope when I'm g _ one and the ages shall roll__ _ _
My body will b _ lacken and turn into coal__ _ _
Then I'll look from the d _ oor of my heavenly home__ _ _
And pity the m _ iner a- diggin' my bones__ _ _
It's dark as a d _ ungeon and damp as the dew Where
Where danger is d _ ouble and pleasures are few__ _ _
Where the rain never f _ alls and the sun never shines__ _ _
