[Verse 1]
C F C
A miner was leaving his home for his work
C D7 G7
When he heard his little child scream
C F C
He went to the side of the little girl's bed
C G7 C
She said, "Daddy, I've had such a dream!"
[Chorus]
C C7 F C
Please Daddy don't go to the mines today
C G
For dreams have so often come true.
C F C
My Daddy, my daddy, please don't go away,
C G7 C
For I never could live without you.
[Verse 2]
C F C
Then smiling and stroking the little girls face
C D7 G7
He was turning away from her side
C F C
But she threw her small arms around daddy's neck
C G7 C
She gave him a kiss, and then cried: ...
[Verse 3]
C F C
"Oh I dreamed that the mines were all flaming with fire
C D7 G7
And the men, all fought for their lives.
C F C
Just then the scene changed, and the mouth of the mine
C G7 C
Was covered with sweethearts and wives."
[Chorus]
C C7 F C
"Oh daddy, don't go to the mines today,
C G
For dreams have so often come true.
C F C
My Daddy, my daddy, please don't go away,
C G7 C
For I never could live without you."

"Go down to the village and tell your dear friends
C D7 G7
That as sure as the bright stars do shine,
C F C
There is something that's going to happen today;
C G7 C
Please daddy, don't go to the mines."
[Chorus]
C C7 F C
Oh Daddy don't work in the mines today
C G
For dreams have so often come true.
C F C
My Daddy, my daddy, please don't go away,
C G7 C
For I never could live without you."
