Dream Of A Miners Child

G                       C            G
A miner was leaving his home for his work
                          D
He heard his little child scream
G                      C          G
He went to the side of the little ones’s bed
              D          G
Oh daddy I’ve had such a dream

   [Chorus]

   G                        C     G
   Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
                                 D
   For dreams have so often come true
   G                        C        G
   Oh daddy dear daddy just don’t go away
                 D            G
   I never could live without you

[Verse 2]

G                                 C            G
I dreamed that the mines were all blazing with fire
                             D
The workers fought for their lives
    G                          C                G
But then the scene changed and the mouth of the mine
                 D               G
Was covered with sweethearts and wives

[Chorus]

   G                        C     G
   Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
                                 D
   For dreams have so often come true
   G                        C        G
   Oh daddy dear daddy just don’t go away
                 D            G
   I never could live without you

[Verse 3]

G                      C                 G
Go down to the village and tell all your friends
                               D
As sure as the bright sun does shine
G                            C            G
There’s something a going to happen there today
             D           G
Please daddy don’t go to that mine

[Chorus]

   G                        C     G
   Oh daddy don’t go to the mines today
                                 D
   For dreams have so often come true
   G                          C        G
   Oh daddy dear daddy please don’t go away
                 D            G
   I never could live without you
