Come and listen you fellows 来听听你们这些人

So young and do fine 这么年轻，做精

And seek not your fortune 却不求你的财富

In the dark, dreary mines 在黑暗中，沉闷的地雷

   

It will form as a habit 它会形成一个习惯

Seep in your soul 渗透在你的灵魂

'Til the blood in your veins 直到血在你的脉

Runs as black as the coal 跑黑如煤炭

   

There's many a man 有很多男人

That I've known in my day 我在一天就知道

Who lived just to labor 谁住只是为了劳动

His whole life away 他一生走

   

Like a fiend with his dope 喜欢他的涂料恶魔

And a drunkard his wine 又是个酒鬼他的酒

A man will have lust for 一个男人都会有欲望

The lure of the mine 矿井的诱惑

   

It's dark as a dungeon 这是黑暗的地牢

Damp as the dew 潮湿的露水

The danger is double 危险的是双

And the pleasures are few 而快乐却很少

   

Where the rain never falls 凡雨从来不属于

Where the sun never shines 那里的阳光永远照耀

It's dark as a dungeon 这是黑暗的地牢

Way down in the mine 在矿一路下跌

   

I hope when I'm gone 我希望当我走了

And the ages shall roll 而年龄应推出

My body will blacken 我的身体会变黑

And turn into coal 并转成煤

   

Then I'll look out the door 那我就看出来了门

Of my heavenly home 我天朝家

And I'll pity the miners 我会同情矿工

A-diggin' my bones A-陷我的骨头

   

It's dark as a dungeon 这是黑暗的地牢

Damp as the dew 潮湿的露水

The danger is double 危险的是双

And the pleasures are few 而快乐却很少

   

Where the rain never falls 凡雨从来不属于

Where the sun never shines 那里的阳光永远照耀

It's dark as a dungeon 这是黑暗的地牢

Way down in the mine 在矿一路下跌

   

Where the rain never falls 凡雨从来不属于

Where the sun never shines 那里的阳光永远照耀

It's dark as a dungeon 这是黑暗的地牢

Way down in the mine 在矿一路下跌
