Daddy's Down In The Mine

Daddy's Down In The Mine - Pat MacDonald

There are jewels in the darkness

There are treasures down below

And strange glimmers in the shadows

Where the children can not go

Now I know you miss your daddy

But he's gonna be just fine

Don't worry little darlin'

Daddy's just down in the mine

There are things that can't be measured

Or touched by tiny hands

There are countless worldly wonders

Not even daddy understands

But if you should have a question

Just drop me a line

I'm never too far away from you

Daddy's just down in the mine

Now a pocket full of silver

Or a wagon load of gold

Or a truck load of diamonds

I would leave down by the road

I would trade a devil's ransom

Just to see your two eyes shine

So when I'm gone remember

Daddy's just down in the mine
