Dream Of The Miner's Child Lyrics - Marty Robbins

A miner was leavin' his home for his work 

He heard his little child scream 

He went to the side of his little girl's bed 

Oh, daddy, I've had such a dream 

Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away 

For dreams have so often come true 

Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away 

I never could live without you 

I dreamed that the mine was all covered with flame 

The men all fought for their lives 

Just then the scene changed, and the mouth of the mine 

Was covered with sweethearts and wives 

Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away 

For dreams have so often come true 

Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away 

I never could live without you 

Go down to the village and tell your dear friends 

As sure as the bright stars do shine 

There's somethin' that's goin' to happen today 

Oh, daddy, don't go to the mine 

Her daddy was smilin' and stroking her hair 

Was turning away from her side 

But throwin' her small arms around daddy's neck 

She gave him a kiss and then cried 

Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away 

For dreams have so often come true 

Oh, daddy my daddy, oh don't go away 

I never could live without you
