A miner was leaving her home for work when she heard a little child scream She went to the side of the little girl's bed "Oh momma, I've had such a dream. Oh momma don't go to the mines today For dreams have so often come true Oh momma, dear momma, please don't go away For I never could live without you I dreamed that the mines was all ragin' with fire And the miners all fought for their lives Just then the scene changed at the mouth of the mines All covered with husbands and wives. Oh momma don't go to the mines today For dreams have so often come true Oh momma, dear momma, please don't go away For I never could live without you. Go down to the village and tell your dear friends That as sure as the bright stars do shine That something is going to happen today Oh momma, don't go to the mines. Oh momma don't go to the mines today For dreams have so often come true Oh momma, dear momma, please don't go away For I never could live without you For I never could live without you
