COWPIE Country Music Lyrics
Johnny Cash
Dark As A Dungeon
# Dark as a Dungeon Recorded by:Johnny Cash Written by: M. Travis Recorded:November 12, 1963 Nashville, Tennessee I noticed some problems with other songs I sent to COWPIE. Here's the correct way. Oh come all you young fellows young and so fine Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mine It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul Til' the stream of your blood runs as black the coal Chorus: Where it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew Danger is doubled pleasures are few Where the rain never falls the sun never shines It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ Well I pray when I'm dead the ages shall roll That my body will blacken and turn into coal Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home And pity the miner digging my bones Chorus
