[00:00:00] Dark As A Dungeon (From The Documentary Film “From the Ashes”) - John Mellencamp

[00:00:02] Written by：Merle Travis

[00:00:08] Come all you young fellers so young and so fine

[00:00:13] And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine

[00:00:18] It will form like a habit and seep in your soul

[00:00:23] 'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal

[00:00:29] It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

[00:00:34] Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few

[00:00:39] Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

[00:00:44] It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

[00:00:56] There is many a man I have seen in my day

[00:01:01] Who lived just to labor his whole life away

[00:01:06] Like the fiend with his d**e and the drunkard his wine

[00:01:11] A man will have lust for the lure of the mine

[00:01:18] It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

[00:01:23] Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few

[00:01:28] Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

[00:01:33] It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

[00:01:45] Well the midnight or the morning or the middle of day

[00:01:50] Is the same to the miner digging away

[00:01:55] For the demons of death often come by surprise

[00:02:00] One fall of the slate and you're buried alive

[00:02:07] For it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

[00:02:12] Where danger are double and pleasures are few

[00:02:17] Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

[00:02:22] It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

[00:02:36] Well I hope when I'm gone and the ages shall roll

[00:02:41] My body will blacken and turn into coal

[00:02:46] I'll look from the door of my heavenly home

[00:02:51] And pity the miner digging my bones

[00:02:58] Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew

[00:03:03] Where danger are double and pleasures are few

[00:03:08] Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines

[00:03:13] It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

[00:04:00] Come all you young fellers so young and so fine

[00:04:05] And seek not your fortunes in the dark dreary mines
