Dream Of The Miner's Child

歌詞

A miner was leavin' his home for his work He heard his little child scream He went to the side of his little girl's bed Oh, daddy, I've had such a dream Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away For dreams have so often come true Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away I never could live without you I dreamed that the mine was all covered with flame The men all fought for their lives Just then the scene changed, and the mouth of the mine Was covered with sweethearts and wives Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away For dreams have so often come true Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away I never could live without you Go down to the village and tell your dear friends As sure as the bright stars do shine There's somethin' that's goin' to happen today Oh, daddy, don't go to the mine Her daddy was smilin' and stroking her hair Was turning away from her side But throwin' her small arms around daddy's neck She gave him a kiss and then cried Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away For dreams have so often come true Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away I never could live without you
