Dark as a Dungeon (Live at Memorial Auditorium, Worcester, MA - November 1975)
作曲 : Merle Travis
Gather round fellows, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortune way down in the mine
It will form like a habit and seep in your soul
'Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
It's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
There's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's many a man I've seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope or a drunkard his wine
A man must have lust for the lure of the mines
It's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
There's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
I hope when I'm gone and the ages do roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a-diggin' my bones
It's dark as a dungeon and it's damp as the dew
Where the dangers are double and the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
There's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
