He heard his little child scream.
Oh, I've had such a dream
Oh, Daddy, don't go to my house today
For dreams have so often come true
I never could live without you
were all blazing with fire
The workers fought for their lives
But then the scene changed
Was covered with sweethearts and wives
Oh, daddy, don't go to the mines today
Our dreams have so often come true
I never could build without you
and tell all your friends
There's something going to
Please daddy don't go to that mine
Oh daddy don't go to the mines today
For dreams have so often come true
I never could live without you
