Dream Of The Miners Child - Marty Robbins

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
