[1] A miner was leaving his [4] home for his [1] work
He heard his little child [5] scream
He went to the side of the [4] little one's [1] bed
Oh daddy I've [5] had such a [1] dream

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 and the mouth of the mine
Was covered with sweethearts and wives

Go down to the village and tell all your friends
That as sure as the bright sun does shine
There's something that's going to happen today
Oh daddy don't go to that mine
