A miner was leavin’ his home for his work When he heard his little child scream He went to the side of his little child’s bed Saying, Daddy, I’ve had such a dream 
Chorus 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 mines were all blazing with fire The workers fought for their lives But then the scene changed at the mouth of the mine It was covered with sweethearts and wives 
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
