Willie Nelson - Dark As A Dungeon Lyrics
Come all you young fellers, so young and so fine
And seek not your fortunes way down in the mine
It will form like a habit and seep in your soul
'Til the stream of your blood flows as black as the coal
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
There is many a man I have seen in my day
Who lived just to labor his whole life away
Like the fiend with his dope and the drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
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'm dead and the ages shall roll
That my body will blacken and turn into coal
I will look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a' diggin' my bones
It's dark as a dungeon and 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
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

Harlan County, USA
Karl Hungus
Published on Oct 1, 2017
Harlan County, USA is a 1976 Oscar-winning documentary film covering the "Brookside Strike", an effort of 180 coal miners and their wives against the Duke Power Company-owned Eastover Coal Company's Brookside Mine and Prep Plant in Harlan County, southeast Kentucky in 1973.[2] Directed and produced by Barbara Kopple, who has long been an advocate of workers' rights, Harlan County, U.S.A. is less ambivalent in its attitude toward unions than her later American Dream, the account of the Hormel Foods strike in Austin, Minnesota in 1985-86.

My favourite version of that song.
Listened to quite a few versions of this song!Willie just catches it best!
NOBODY CAN SING THIS LIKE WILLIE NELSON--MY DAD WAS A COAL MINER. I LOVE THIS!
Ever heard the Johnny Cash version? It's pretty amazing.
Nobody could do it like Merle and yet...and yet Willie crawls inside a song like a skin walker. And then it's his song as much as the songwriter's.
"Crawls inside a song like a skin walker" I love it.
Best version ever!
damn this does the original almost. Nice.
