Dream Of The Miners Child

Dream Of The Miners Child - Jenkins/Marty Robbins (馬丁·羅賓遜)

A miner was leaving his home for his work

When he heard his little child scream

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

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

Oh I dreamed that the mines were

All flaming with fire

And the men all fought for their lives

Just then the scene changed and

The mouth of the mines

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

That as sure as the bright stars do shine

There is something that's going to happen today

Oh daddy don't go to the mines

Her daddy was smiling and stroking her face

Was turning away from her side

But she threw 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
