Dream of a Miner's Child

A miner was leavin' her home for work

When she heard her little child scream

She went to the side of her little girl's bed

Oh mama, I've had such a dreamOh, mama, don't go to the mines today

For dreams have so often come true

Oh, mama, dear mama, please don't go away

For I never could live without youI dreamed that the mines were all raging with fire

And the miners all fought for their lives

Then the scene changed at the mouth of the mine

It was covered with husbands and wivesOh, mama, don't go to the mines today

For dreams have so often come true

Oh, mama, dear mama, please don't go away

For I never could live without you
