Testo Dark As A Dungeon - John Mellencamp
Testo della canzone Dark As A Dungeon (John Mellencamp), tratta dall'album Other People's Stuff
Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine
It'll form like a habit and seep through your soul
'Til the stream of your blood flows black as the coal
It's dark as the dungeons 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 the dungeons way down in the mines
There's many a man I have seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
It's dark as the dungeons 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 the dungeons way down in the mines
Come midnight or morning or middle of day
It's the same to the miner who labors away
For the demons of death often come by surprise
One fall of the slate and you're buried alive
Oh, it's dark as the dungeons 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 the dungeons way down in the mines
I hope when I'm dead and the ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miners who dig in my bones
It's dark as the dungeons and damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
And the rain never falls and the sun never shines
And it's dark as the dungeons way down in the mines
Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune in the dark, dreary mine
