Marty Robbins - Dream Of The Miner's Child lyrics
rate meA miner was leavin' his home for his work<br />
He heard his little child scream<br />
He went to the side of his little girl's bed<br />
Oh, daddy, I've had such a dream<br />
<br />
Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away<br />
For dreams have so often come true<br />
Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away<br />
I never could live without you<br />
<br />
I dreamed that the mine was all covered with flame<br />
The men all fought for their lives<br />
Just then the scene changed, and the mouth of the mine<br />
Was covered with sweethearts and wives<br />
<br />
Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away<br />
For dreams have so often come true<br />
Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away<br />
I never could live without you<br />
<br />
Go down to the village and tell your dear friends<br />
As sure as the bright stars do shine<br />
There's somethin' that's goin' to happen today<br />
Oh, daddy, don't go to the mine<br />
<br />
Her daddy was smilin' and stroking her hair<br />
Was turning away from her side<br />
But throwin' her small arms around daddy's neck<br />
She gave him a kiss and then cried<br />
<br />
Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away<br />
For dreams have so often come true<br />
Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away<br />
I never could live without you
