Oh come all you young fellers so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mineIt'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
Till the stream of your blood runs as black as the coal
Where it's dark as a dungeon damp as the dew danger is double pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls the sun never shinesIt's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
Well it's many a man that I've seen in my day
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard with his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mine
And pray when I'm dead and my ages shall roll
That my body would blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home and pity the miner digging my bones
Where it's dark as a dungeon...
Don Gibson (1923-2003) è stato un influente cantante e musicista country statunitense, noto per la sua voce calda e melodiosa. Nato a Shelby, nella Carolina del Nord, Gibson iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '40, suonando in locali di musica country e bluegrass. Nel 1956 ottenne il suo primo successo nazionale con "Oh Lonesome Me", un brano che divenne una delle canzoni country più amate di tutti i tempi. Gibson ha registrato numerosi successi durante gli anni '50 e '60, tra cui "I Can't Stop Loving You", "Sea of Heartbreak" e "The Heartache Song".
