<< Back to Johnny Cash Song List

Version 1 Version 2

            [Verse 1]
        E                                  
Oh come all you young fellers, 
    A           B7
so young and so fine,
 E
seek not your fortune 
        A          E
in the dark dreary mine 


[Verse 2]
      E
It'll form as a habit 
     A           B7
and seep in your soul, 
         E                  
till the stream of you blood
        A            E 
runs as black as the coal


[Chorus 1]
B7    
Where it's dark as a dungeon, 
A          E
damp as a dew.
B7  
Danger is double, 
A             E
pleasures are few,
                     E7
where the rain never falls, 
    A         B7
the sun never shines, 
     E         
it's dark as a dungeon 
     A          E
way down in the mine  


[Verse 3]
       E                
Like a man with his dope,
       A                 B7 
like a drunkard with his wine,
  E                 
a man will have lust
        A           E 
for the lure of the mine


[Verse 4]
         E                 
And I'll pray when I'm dead,
       A          B7 
and my ages shall roll,
        E 
that my body would blacken 
    A         E
and turn into coal


[Verse 5]
        E
And I'd look from the door
      A        B7 
of my heavenly home
    E            
and pity the miner
A         E
diggin my bones 


[Chorus 2]
B7    
Where it's dark as a dungeon, 
A          E
damp as a dew.
B7  
Danger is double, 
A             E
pleasures are few,
                     E7
where the rain never falls, 
    A         B7
the sun never shines, 
     E         
it's dark as a dungeon 
     A          E
way down in the mine
