Testo Dark as a Dungeon - Odetta
Testo della canzone Dark as a Dungeon (Odetta), tratta dall'album The Ultimate Collection
Come all you young fellas, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune in the dark dreary mine
It'll form as a habit, it'll seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
For it's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double, pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
It's a many a man I've knowed in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend for his dope, a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
Well I hope when I die and the ages do roll
My body will harden and turn into coal
I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
Pity the miner a-diggin' up my bones
Well it's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double, pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
