DREAM OF A MINER’S CHILD

A miner was leaving his home for his work
He heard his little child scream
He went to the side of the little one’s bed
She said Daddy I’ve had such a dream

Oh Daddy don’t go to the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
Oh Daddy, dear Daddy, please don’t go away
I never could live without you

I dreamed that the mine was a’blazin’ with fire
The workers fought for their lives
Then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine
Was covered with sweethearts and wives

Oh Daddy don’t go to the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
Oh Daddy, dear Daddy, please don’t go away
I never could live without you

Go down to the village and tell all your friends
As sure as the bright sun does shine
There’s something a’going to happen there today
Please Daddy don’t go to the mines

Oh Daddy don’t go to the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
Oh Daddy, dear Daddy, please don’t go away
I never could live without you
