the wolfe tones - down in the mines lyrics

Loading...

the tough st_rdy miner works hard for his pay
he works through the night and most of the day
but there’s no_one works harder way down in the ground
than billy the pit horse, a slave to the mine

[chorus]
it’s dark as a dungeon, 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
it’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mines
therе’s many a pretty girl i’ve known in my life
who livеd just to be a coal miner’s wife
a coal miner’s wife must be hardy and strong
and should never worry if things should go wrong

[chorus]
it’s dark as a dungeon, 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
it’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

now, come all ye young fellas, your fortune you see
don’t bury yourselves in the mine so deep
it forms as a hammer and seeps in your soul
till the blood in your veins runs as the black as the coal

[chorus]
it’s dark as a dungeon, 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
it’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

i hope when i die and the ages shall roll
my body will blacken and turn into coal
and then i’ll look down from my heavenly home
and pity the miner a_diggin’ my bones
[chorus]
it’s dark as a dungeon, 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
it’s dark as a dungeon way down in the mines

- the wolfe tones
