Come and listen, you feller,
C

so young and so fine,
G
C

and seek not your fortune
C

in dark dreary pines.

C
D
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
G
C
G
Till the stream of your blood
C
G
runs as black as the coal
C
D
damp as the dew
G
D
Where the dangers are doubled
C
G
and the pleasures are few
Em
G
Where the rain never falls
C
D
and the sun never shines
G

There's many a man
C

I've known in my day
G

Who lives labor his whole life away,
C

Like a fiend with his dope,
C

and a drunkard his wine.

G
A man will have lust
C
G
for the mirror of the mind
C
G
and as the dew
C
G
and the pleasures are few
Where rain never falls,
C
D
and the sun never shines
C
G
Em
way down in the mine
G

I hope when I'm gone
C

and the ages shall roll
G

My body would blacken and turn into gold
C

And I'll look from the door
C

of my heavenly home
G
C
G
C
G
And pity the miner digging my bone
C
G
Damp as the dew,
C
G
and the pleasures are few,
where rain never falls,
C
D
and the sun never shines.
