A miner was leaving his home for his work When he heard his little child scream He went to the side of the little child'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, oh daddy, please don't go away For I never could live without you" "I dreamed that the mines were all flaming with fire And the miners all fought for their lives Just then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine Was covered with sweethearts and wives" "Go down to the village and tell all your friends That as sure as the bright sun does shine There's something a-going to happen there today Oh daddy, don't go to the mine"
