Soldier's Joy

First I thought a snake had got me, it happened dreadful quick
It was a bullet bit my leg and right off I got sick
I came to in a wagon load of ten more wounded men
Five was dead by the time we reached that bloody tent
Give me some of that Soldier's Joy
You know what I mean
I don't want to hurt no more
My leg is turning green
The doctor came and looked at me and this is what he said
"Your dancing days are done, son, it's a good thing you ain't dead"
Then he went to work with a carving knife, sweat fell from his brow
About killed me trying to save my life when he cut that lead ball out
Give me some of that Soldier's Joy
Ain't you got no more
Hand me down my walking cane
I ain't cut out for war
The red blood run right through my veins, it run all over the floor
And it run right down his apron strings like a river out the door
He handed me a bottle, said, "Son, drink deep as you can"
He turned away and he turned right back with a hacksaw in his hand
Give me some of that Soldier's Joy
You know what I like
Bear down on that fiddle, boys
Just like Saturday night
Give me some of that Soldier's Joy
You know what I crave
I'll be hitting that Soldier's Joy
Till I'm in my grave

Dark As A Dungeon

Oh, come all you young fellers so young and so fine
Seek not your fortune in a dark dreary mines
It'll form as a habit and seep in your soul
Till the stream of your blood is as black as the coal
It's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where danger is double pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine
It's many a man I've seen in my day
Who live just to labor his whole life away
Like a fiend with his dope and a drunkard his wine
A man will have lust for the lure of the mines
I hope when I'm gone and my ages shall roll
My body will blacken and turn into coal
Then I'll look from the door of my heavenly home
And pity the miner a-digging my bones
Where it's dark as a dungeon and damp as the dew
Where danger is double and pleasures are few
Where the rain never falls and the sun never shines
It's a dark as a dungeon way down in the mine

Put your arms around me like a circle round the sun
I wanna love you moma like my easy rider done
You don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
You don't believe I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in
Stealin', stealin', pretty moma don't you tell on me
I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be
The woman I love she's just my height and size
A married girl, come to see me some time
You don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
You don't believe I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in
Stealin', stealin', pretty moma don't you tell on me
I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be
Well I'm going up North, gonna see my girl
Sweetest thing in the whole wide world
You don't believe I love you, look what a fool I've been
You don't believe I'm sinking, look what a hole I'm in
Stealin', stealin', pretty moma don't you tell on me
I'm stealin' back to my same old used to be
