Dark as the Dungeon
by Johnny Cash
C F G C Oh come all you young fellers, so young and so fine, seek not your F C F fortune in the dark dreary mind. It'll form as a habit and seep in your G C F C soul, till the stream of you blood runs as black as the coal. Where it's G F C G F C dark as the dungeon, damp as the dew. Danger is double, pleasures are few, F G C where the rain never falls, where the sun never shines, it's dark as the F C F dungeon way down in the mine. Like a man with his dope, like a drunkard with G C F C his wife, a man will have lust for the lure of the mine. And I'll pray when F G C F I'm dead, and my ages shall roll, that my body would blacken and turn into C F G C coal. And I'd look from the door of my heavenly home and pity the miner F C G F C G diggin my bones. Where it's dark as the dungeon, damp as the dew. Dangers F C F are double, pleasures are few, where the rain never falls, the sun never G C F C shines, it's dark as the dungeon way down in the mine.
