Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
Where the rain never falls, the sun never shines
It's dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Where it's dark as a dungeon, damp as the dew
That my body will blacken and turn into coal
Danger is double, pleasures are few
Well, I pray when I'm dead and the ages shall roll
Danger is double and the pleasures are few
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
And pity the miner digging my bones
