Verse 1

  C     F           C
A miner was leaving his home for his work

When he heard his little child scream

He went to the side of the little child’s bed
    C          G7       C
She said daddy I’ve had such a dream

Chorus

   C     C7          F   C
Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
    C                    G
For dreams have so often come true
   C     F        C
Oh daddy oh daddy please don’t go away

For I never could live without you

I dreamed that the mines were all flaming with fire
    C          D7             G7
And the miners all fought for their lives
     C        F                 C
Just then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine
    C       G7   C
Was covered with sweethearts and wives

Go down to the village and tell all your friends
     C          D7             G7
That as sure as the bright sun does shine
        C           F        C
There’s something a going to happen there today
   C     C7    F     C
Oh daddy don’t go to the mine
