Dolly Parton - Dark As A Dungeon Lyrics
Come and listen you fellows
So young and do fine
And seek not your fortune
In the dark, dreary mines
Seep in your soul
'Til the blood in your veins
Runs as black as the coal
There's many a man
That I've known in my day
Who lived just to labor
His whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope
A man will have lust for
The lure of the mine
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine
I hope when I'm gone
And the ages shall roll
My body will blacken
And turn into coal
Then I'll look out the door
Of my heavenly home
And I'll pity the miners
A-diggin' my bones
It's dark as a dungeon
Damp as the dew
The danger is double
And the pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine
Where the rain never falls
Where the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon
Way down in the mine

One of her prettiest songs and I had never heard it before tonight, lovely wow.
I remember listening this song back in 1982 on my parents 8 track I was 7 years old at the time
Hell yea this is beautiful
Dolly can deliver on any song with any musical arrangements, she is just so versatile
Adds this to "BDSM sex dungeon background music" playlist.
No regrets.
