Call Daddy From The Mines Lyrics - Johnny Cash

A little girl woke up deep in the dark and started cryin' 

The mother brought a light and held her daughter tight 

She thought it was so strange to hear a little girl of nine 

Cry call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine 

[ guitar ] 

Her mother wiped the tears and said see honey you're only dreaming 

Your dad must work today he has to draw his pay 

She left her then but still could hear her cry time after time 

Call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine

Then the countryside was shaken by a mighty rumble 

And fear for miles around was the trembling of the ground 

The little girl was fast asleep yet cried out one more time 

Call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine 

[ guitar ] 

Ten thousand tears and two weeks later deep in the smoking ground 

A dying man was found had survived all those around 

He'd quickly crawled to a fresh air pocket barely just in time 

When he heard his own child whine call daddy from the mine 

Call daddy from the mine call daddy from the mine
