Dream Of The Miner’s Child Lyrics by Merle Watson

0

A miner was leaving his home for his work
When he heard his little child scream
He went to the side of the little girl's bed;
She said, "Daddy, I've had such a dream!"
"Please, daddy, don't go to the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
My daddy, my daddy, please don't go away
For I never could live without you."
Then smiling and stroking the little girl's face
He was turning away from her side
But she threw her small arms around daddy's neck;
She gave him a kiss and then cried:
"Oh, I dreamed that the mines were all flaming with fire
And the men all fought for their lives
Just then the scene changed, and the mouth of the mines
Was covered with sweethearts and wives."
"Oh, daddy, don't go to the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
My daddy, my daddy, 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
There is something that's going to happen today;
Please, daddy, don't go to the mines."
"Oh, daddy, don't work in the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
My daddy, my daddy, please don't go away
For I never could live without you."
