G C G
A miner was leaving his home for his work
D
He heard his little child scream
G C G
He went to the side of the little ones’s bed
D G
Oh daddy I’ve had such a dream
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
D
For dreams have so often come true
G C G
Oh daddy dear daddy just don’t go away
D G
I never could live without you
[Verse 2]
G C G
I dreamed that the mines were all blazing with fire
D
The workers fought for their lives
G C G
But then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine
D G
Was covered with sweethearts and wives
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
D
For dreams have so often come true
G C G
Oh daddy dear daddy just don’t go away
D G
I never could live without you
[Verse 3]
G C G
Go down to the village and tell all your friends
D
As sure as the bright sun does shine
G C G
There’s something a going to happen there today
D G
Please daddy don’t go to that mine
[Chorus]
G C G
Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
D
For dreams have so often come true
G C G
Oh daddy dear daddy please don’t go away
D G
I never could live without you
